Answer:

The right answer is "5.9". A further solving is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Initial Magnitude,

M₁ = 3.9

Let Second magnitude be M₂.

Now,

⇒  M_2-M_1=log(\frac{l_2}{l_1} )

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  M_2-3.9 = log (120)

On putting the value of "log 120", we get

⇒  M_2-3.9=2.079

On adding "3.9" both sides, we get

⇒  M_2-3.9+3.9=2.079+3.9

⇒                    M_2=5.9

What property is illustrated by the statement? 0 + x = x A. Inverse Property of Multiplication B. Commutative Property of Additi
Firlakuza [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: D is the correct answer.

The property which is illustrated by the given statement is:

              D. Identity Property of Addition

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that an identity is a value which when added to any element of the set gives the resultant as the element itself.

Also, we know that the identity under addition is always: zero.

Because when zero is added to any number then the resultant is the number itself i.e. adding zero does not affect the value.

Hence, by the Identity Property of Addition we have:

                              0 + x = x
