Question

Find the value of $n$. Then name the property used in each step. (Lesson 1-3)

$n\cdot 1=2$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The value of $n$ is $2$. The property used is multiplicative identity property.

Step 1. State the property.

The multiplicative identity property states that for any number $a$, the product of $a$ and $1$ is $a$.

 

So, $a\cdot 1=a$.

Step 2. Write the given equation.

The given equation is $n\cdot 1=2$.

Step 3. Solve the given equation.

Put $a=2$ in $a\cdot 1=a$ to get,

$2\cdot 1=2$

Compare $2\cdot 1=2$ with $n\cdot 1=2$ to get,

$n=2$

So, the solution of the given equation is $n=2$ and the property used is the multiplicative identity property.
