Micheal was asked to give examples of the identity property of addition and the identity property of multiplication. Below are his answers. Identity property of addition: 8 + 1 = 8 identity property of multiplication: 8(0) = 0 What was his mistake

Respuesta :

Answer:

Identity property of addition 8 + 0 = 8

Identity property of multiplication 8 x 1 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

He mixed up his properties.  8 + 1  does not equal 8.  I want to know what I can add to 8 and that I would still get 8, the answer is zero.

The identity property of multiplication is showing that any number multiplied by 1 is itself.
