\end{tabular}
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. The expression involves the addition of the same variable multiple times.
2. We need to complete the expressions and identify the missing property.
3. The identity property of multiplication states that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged.
STEP 2
1. Simplify the expression.
2. Identify the missing property.
3. Complete the expressions.
STEP 3
Simplify the expression .
Since we are adding the same variable three times, we can express this as:
STEP 4
Identify the missing property.
The identity property of multiplication states that multiplying any number by 1 gives the number itself. In this context, it means that:
STEP 5
Complete the expressions in the table.
1. The expression can be rewritten as:
2. Using the identity property of multiplication, we can write:
3. The missing property is the identity property of multiplication, which confirms that:
4. The final expression is:
The completed expressions and property identification are:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
& p+p+p= & 1p + 1p + 1p= & Identity property of multiplication \\
= & 3p \\
\end{tabular}
