Math Problem Statement
Determine the property illustrated: -8 + 0 = -8
Solution
The equation shown is:
This demonstrates the Additive Identity property. The additive identity states that adding zero to any number leaves the number unchanged. In this case, adding 0 to results in , which matches the definition of the additive identity property.
The correct answer is: Additive Identity.
