Question 2 • GA-Advanced Algebra: Concepts and Connections CR

Which of the following illustrates the inverse property of addition?

Answer
A
17 + 4 + 21 = 21 + 21
B
17 + 4 = 4 + 17
C
17 + 0 = 17
D
17 + –17 = 0

Explanation

The inverse property of addition says that a number plus its opposite equals zero. Since −17 is the opposite of 17, 17 + (−17) = 0 illustrates this property. The other choices show the associative, commutative, or additive identity property.
