Name the property the following statement illustrates.

0=0(-29)
What's the property? I think it might be Multiplicative Identity, but I thought that property was only for the number 1, not 0. Please help me.....

It's a case of the special multiplication property of zero:

The property you are referring to is indeed the Multiplicative Identity Property. This property states that any number multiplied by 1 will always equal the original number.

However, in the case of the equation you provided: 0 = 0 * (-29), it might initially seem like this contradicts the Multiplicative Identity Property, since we are multiplying zero by -29 rather than by 1.

The key here is to understand that the Multiplicative Identity Property can be applied to any real number, not just 1. In this case, the number zero itself acts as the identity element for multiplication. This means that any number multiplied by zero will always result in zero. So, regardless of the value of -29, when we multiply it by 0, the result is still zero:

0 * (-29) = 0

Therefore, the property being illustrated in the equation is indeed the Multiplicative Identity Property, but with the specific identity element being zero rather than one.
