Question

Substituting one for asking the equation 5x + 3 = x * 1 + 3 is a test case for which property

Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
The equation \( 5x + 3 = x \cdot 1 + 3 \) can be analyzed in the context of properties of operations in algebra.

In this equation, the term \( x \cdot 1 \) simplifies to just \( x \) because of the **Multiplicative Identity Property**, which states that any number multiplied by 1 is the number itself.

So, the equation simplifies to:

\[
5x + 3 = x + 3
\]

This equation tests how operations and identities function in algebra. Specifically, it showcases the use of the **Multiplicative Identity Property** in its setup.

Additionally, if you further analyze it, you can also see that:

- The equation can involve rearranging terms, which is a general manipulation in algebra (reflecting the properties of equality).

In conclusion, this equation acts as a test case primarily for the **Multiplicative Identity Property**.
