Question

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

$n+0=\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The value of $n$ is $\frac{2}{3}$. The property used is additive identity property.

Step 1. State the property.

The additive identity property states that for any number $a$, the sum of $a$ and $0$ is $a$.

 

So, $a+0=a$.

Step 2. Write the given equation.

The given equation is $n+0=\frac{2}{3}$.

Step 3. Solve the given equation.

Put $a=\frac{2}{3}$ in $a+0=a$ to get,

 

$\frac{2}{3}+0=\frac{2}{3}$

 

Compare $\frac{2}{3}+0=\frac{2}{3}$ with $n+0=\frac{2}{3}$ to get,

 

$n=\frac{2}{3}$

 

So, the solution of the given equation is $n=\frac{2}{3}$ and the property used is the additive identity property.
