Question
Indicate which property is illustrated in Step 4.
Step 1 (-5) + 5 + 2(12 + 2) = (-5) + 5 + (2 • 12) + (2 • 2)
Step 2 = (-5) + 5 + (24) + (4)
Step 3 = (-5) + 5 + 28
Step 4 = 0 + 28
Step 5 = 28
Step 1 (-5) + 5 + 2(12 + 2) = (-5) + 5 + (2 • 12) + (2 • 2)
Step 2 = (-5) + 5 + (24) + (4)
Step 3 = (-5) + 5 + 28
Step 4 = 0 + 28
Step 5 = 28

In Step 4, the property illustrated is the **Identity Property of Addition**, which states that when you add zero to a number, the number remains unchanged. In this case, \( (-5) + 5 \) equals 0, and when you add 0 to 28, the result remains 28.
