k.
Part 2
Can the new​ expression, k​, be​ simplified?
No
Yes

Answer 1

Part 1:

Using the identity property, we can write the expression \( k + 0 \) as:

\[
k + 0 = k
\]

The identity property states that adding zero to any number does not change the value of that number.

Part 2:

Can the new expression, \( k \), be simplified?

The answer is **No.** The expression \( k \) is already in its simplest form, assuming \( k \) represents a variable or constant that cannot be further simplified.
