5+0=5 tell which property i think it is assosciotive
Additive Identity Property
Isn't it the additive identity?

thanks anthony... what property would 4*1
=4 be.... oh and bobpursley we cant use wikki
no problem:)
Multiplicative Identity Property
Actually, the property you are thinking of is called the additive identity property. The additive identity property states that when you add zero to any number, the result is that number itself. In this case, when you add zero to 5 (5 + 0), the sum is 5.
On the other hand, the associative property refers to the grouping of numbers when performing addition or multiplication. It states that you can change the grouping of the numbers being added or multiplied without changing the result.
For example, using the associative property, if we have the expression (2 + 3) + 4, we can group the numbers differently to get the expression 2 + (3 + 4). According to the associative property, both expressions will yield the same result. However, this property doesn't apply to the equation 5 + 0 = 5 because there is only one number involved and no grouping of numbers.
To summarize, the property you are referring to in the equation 5 + 0 = 5 is the additive identity property, not the associative property.
