Question

Name the property used in (5+2)+n=7+n

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive identity is a property that involves the sum of two or more integers in an equation without compromising the equality of the equation.

Given the equation

(5+2)+n = 7+n

We can see that the right hand side of the equation is derived from the left hand had by addition of the values in parenthesis.

Given the right hand side;

= 5+2+n

= (5+2)+n

adding the expression in parenthesis will give;

= 7 + n

Since we added the expression in parenthesis to arrive at the expression at the right hand side, hence additive identity was used in the calculation.
