If 2 = x, then x = 2

this is symmetric property

Commutative property

A(b+c)=ab+ac

distributive property

You're switching a and b to get the same answer. It works with Multiplication too, as you can tell!

The correct option is

(7) Identity - addition.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the property that allows the left member of the equation to be changed to the right member.

8 + 0 = 8.

We now that

if a is a real number, then the equation a + 0 = a is the additive identity.

Putting a = 8, we get

$8+0=8.$

Thus, the required property is additive identity.

Option (7) is CORRECT.

commutative - addition property

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : b + a = a + b

To find : Select the property that allows the left member of the equation to be changed to the right member.

Solution : We have given  b + a = a + b

By the commutative - addition property : x + y = y +x

Example : 4 +5 = 5 +4

9 = 9.

If we inter change the left member of equation to the right member of the equation it will not affect.

Hence it is  shows the commutative - addition property.

Therefore,commutative - addition property

The answer is Symmetric Property of Equality. The following property: If if a = b then b = a is symmetric.

8 + 0 = 8: identity- addition (any number + 0= that number)
a(b + c) = ab + ac: distributive (multiplying a on the left-hand side of the equation by the numbers in parenthesis gives you the right-hand side of the equation)
b + a = a + b: commutative- addition (numbers can be added in any order and still produce the same answer)
If 2 = x, then x = 2: symmetric (if a = b then b = a)
x(10) to be written 10x: commutative- multiplication (numbers can be multiplied in any order and still produce the same result)
