(5x+2)+0=5x+2 is it true or false and what property?

?(5x+2)+0=5x+2 is it true or false and what property?
it is called the zero property, or Identity Property...and yes that is true





The Zero property means that adding 0 to any number leaves you with the number. (ex: 0 + 5 = 5)





Also, the problem with the other answer: Associative property has nothing to do with adding 0, it means that if you reverse the order of added numbers, you get the same answer...so 3+5 is the same as 5+3, which has nothing to do with what you're asking :o)(5x+2)+0=5x+2 is it true or false and what property?
It is true. It is called the additive identity, or identitive property of addition, which says that if you add zero to any quantity, the sum will be the original quantity itself. 鈾?br>

I think it's the associative property (it states that it doesn't matter which numbers associate with each other)
True. Associative.
true, additive identity property
