its not because u cant multiply 0x0 thats going to equal to 0

Spencer Whitehead · Answer 2

The identity property of multiplication is also known as the multiplication property of 1.

This states that the result of multiplying any real number by 1 is the number itself.

Here, the teacher wrote 6 people ($0) = $0

This will be 0 as any number multiplied by 0 is 0. And here there is not 1. So, this expression is not an example of the identity property of multiplication.
