Additive Inverse

Arrange the steps in order to show how the additive identity property applies to a number $a$.

Which equation correctly shows the Additive Identity property for the variable $A$?

Since $5 + 0 = 5$, the number $0$ is called the:

Which number is the additive identity, meaning $a + 0 = a$ for any number $a$?

What is the additive identity? Write the property using $a$, and explain why it is called an 'identity'.

Match each term about the additive identity to its meaning.

What is the special name for $0$ in $7 + 0 = 7$, and what property explains why the value stays the same?

$\text{True or False: } 7 + 0 = 7 \text{ because } 0 \text{ is the additive identity.}$

$0$ is called the _____ identity, since $a + 0 = a$ for any number $a$.
