The additive identity property states that the sum of any number and zero is the original number. Zero is called the additive identity. Examples show that adding 0 to any number a yields a, such as 9 + 0 = 9. According to this property, a subtraction such as 3 - 15 can be written as an addition problem by changing the subtraction to -15 + 3, in accordance with the additive identity of 0.

Additive Identity Property
- 1. Additive Identity Property By: Kristina Chiev
- 2. What is it? The sum of any number and zero is the original number. The number zero is called the additive identity because the sum of zero and any number is that number.
- 3. Examples A + 0 = a 0 + a = a 9 + 0 = 9 0 + 9 = 9 -7 + 0 = -7 0 + -7 = -7
- 4. Section 1 Problem 4 Change the following subtractions to a addition problem 3 - 15 Answer is: -15 + 3
- 5. How I got the answer? The problem is 3 - 15. Since there is a minus in front of the 15 it’ll make it a negative so the problem would look like this (3)+(-15)
- 6. How it relates to Additive Identity Property Since Additive Identity Property is when you have add a number to 0 and the number you put in is also the answer. So you can put 15 - 3 + 0 is also the same as 15 - 3.
