identity - addition
The property that allows the left member of the equation to be changed to the right member in this case is the identity property of addition.
To understand why, let's briefly discuss the identity property of addition. The identity property of addition states that for any number a, adding 0 to it will not change its value. In other words, 0 is the identity element for addition.
In the equation 8 + 0 = 8, we have the number 8. According to the identity property of addition, we can add 0 to 8 without changing its value. Therefore, we can replace the left member (8 + 0) with the right member (8) and the equation will still hold true.
So, the correct answer is the identity - addition property.
