Question

Give an example of two quantities in the real world that are additive inverses.

Answer 1

If men were digging 2,000 feet below ground. What is 2,000+ from level ground. This would be one example. 2,000 + -2,000 = 0 (ground level).

Answer 2

A hot-air balloon ascends 2000 ft from the ground and then descends 2000 ft.

Explanation:

the additive inverses are basically opposite numbers. when you add a number to its additive inverse, it equals 0. example: -5 and 5...and 2 and -2.
