Answer:

5 and -5 are additive inverses of each other because 5 + (-5) = 0.

Similarly, -3 and 3 are additive inverses of each other because -3 + 3 = 0.

Explanation:

The situation you're describing is related to the concept of additive inverses or opposite numbers. In mathematics, when you have two numbers that, when added together, equal zero, they are called additive inverses of each other.
