Zero is called the additive idenity because any # you add to zero will give you that original number you added to zero. Its like why one is called the multiplecation idenity. Because any # you multiply by one will get you that original # that you multiplied by one. Hope this helps!

What numbers is additive identity?
Zero.
What does additive identity mean?
The additive identity is zero. When you add a number and 0, the sum equals the original number.
What property states that adding zero doesnt change the number?
Zero is the additive identity.
Additive identity example?
The additive identity property states that any number plus zero is that number. For example: 5 + 0 = 5.
What is a number added to its additive inverse will always have a sum of zero?
It is a tautological description of one of the basic properties of numbers used in the branch of mathematics called Analysis: Property 2: there exists an additive identity, called 0; for every number n: n + 0 = 0 + n = n. Property 3: there exists an additive inverse, of every number n denoted by (-n) such that n + (-n) = (-n) + n = 0 (the additive identity).
