What value of j makes this addition sentence true?

Hint: Use properties of addition.

j + 571 = 571

j =

1 answer

To find the value of \( j \) that makes the equation \( j + 571 = 571 \) true, we can use the properties of addition.

We want to isolate \( j \). We can do this by subtracting \( 571 \) from both sides of the equation:

\[ j + 571 - 571 = 571 - 571 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ j = 0 \]

Thus, the value of \( j \) that makes the addition sentence true is \( \boxed{0} \).
