#a+0=0+a=a#,

for any number #a#.

The identity property of addition states that any number added to zero equals the original number. In other words, if you add zero to any number, the result will be that number itself.

Mathematically, it can be expressed as: [ a + 0 = a ] where (a) is any real number.
