The identity property for a binary operation (addition, multiplication, etc) simply states that there is a unique element (number) such that x ~ i = x = i ~ x

In terms of multiplication the identity property says that the number 1 exists with the property that 1*x = x = x*1 for all x

In terms of addition the identity property says that the number 0 exists with the property that 0+x = x = x+0 for all x

and so on for other binary operations.

What is the definition for the identity property?

The identity property is when you take a number and you can either add or subtract a certain number or fraction to it and it stays the same. You can remember that the ID (identity) stays the same. An example would be 9-0=9. The 9 stayed the same, even when you subtracted something from it. You could even do 6x1=6.
