Fill in the blanks using the different properties.
(1) $a+b=.....$(2) $(a+b)+c=...........$
(3) $a+ ......... =0$(4) $|-a|=......$ given $a>0$
(5) $a+.......=a$


Given :

The expressions with blanks are given.

To do :

We have to fill the banks by using suitable properties.

Solution :

1. $a+b = b+a$ (commutative property)

2. $(a+b)+c = a+(b+c)$   (Associative property)


3. $a+(-a) = 0$  (Additive inverse)


4. $|-a| = a$, given $a > 0$     (Modulus of a number)


5. $a+0 = a$   (0 is additive identity)
