The Identity Property
No, an identity property, in the context of addition (subtraction), is associated with 0. 0 is the additive identity and the identity property is expressed as x + 0 = x = 0 + x for any element of the set of numbers.A number minus that number is simply an expression.
The identity property for addition states that there is a number, 0, such that x + 0 = 0 + x = x for all numbers x.
It is a consequence of the property that 0 is the additive identity.
