Properties of zeroThe two properties of zero are the addition property and the multiplication property. Addition property: The addition property says that a number does not change when adding or subtracting zero from that number Examples 2 + 0 = 2 12 + 0 = 12 5 − 0 = 5 48 − 0 = 48 0 + 1 = 1 0 − 9 = - 9 x + 0 = x (a + b) + 0 = a + b Additive inverse property If you add two numbers and the sum is zero, we call the two numbers additive inverses or opposites of each other For example, 2 is the additive inverse of -2 because 2 + -2 = 0 -2 is also the additive inverse of 2 because -2 + 2 = 0 Multiplication property The multiplication property says that zero times any number is equal to zero Examples 2 × 0 = 0 0 × 12 = 0 -5 × 0 = 0 23344555677888882 × 0 = 0 x × 0 = 0 (x + y + z + r )× 0 = 0 Need a Quick Answer to your Basic Mathematics Problems?
