Answer 2

Answer:

ANSWER= 143/12

Step-by-step explanation:

additive inverse of  -12 = 12

The multiplicative inverse of a number for any n is simply  

1/n

The reciprocal of a number obtained is such that when it is multiplied with the original number the value equals to identity 1.

​  multiplication inverse = -12

                                          = -1/12

therefore, the required ans is=  12 - 1/12

                                                =   144 -1/12

                                                 = 143/12        

                        YOUR ANSWER IS 143/12.
