Answer:

Multiplicative identity of 1

Explanation:

We have an expression [tex]17x[/tex]. If this expression is [tex]17x[/tex] multiplied by 1, we get a result same as the given expression i.e. [tex]17x[/tex].

It means that the number 1 multiplied with the expression had no effect on it as we got the same expression.

This is called the multiplicative identity of 1 according to which any time you multiply a number by 1, the result or the product is that original number.
