Question

The sum of a number and its additive inverse is equal to _____. -1 0 1

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

Additive inverses are the opposites that cancel out the number, or make it 0.

Answer 2

The additive inverse of a number is it's opposite.

So if a number is positive, it's additive inverse is the negative of that number. If a number is negative, it's additive inverse would be the positive value.

Examples:

If the number is 5, the additive inverse is -5

If the number is -3, the additive inverse would be 3

When you add a negative and a positive number of the same value, the answer would be 0.
