The additive inverse of - 5/7 is 5/7
Given :
The number - 5/7
To find :
The additive inverse of - 5/7
Solution :
Step 1 of 2 :
Define additive inverse of a number
We know that 0 is the additive identity
Let N be any number and M be the additive inverse of N
So by the property of additive inverse
N + M = 0 = M + N
More precisely for any given number the additive inverse is the number that when added to the given number will result zero
So from above we can conclude that additive inverse of N is - N
Step 2 of 2 :
Find the additive inverse of - 5/7
Here the given number is - 5/7
Let x be the required additive inverse
So by the property of additive inverse
x + ( - 5/7 ) = 0
⇒ x - 5/7 =
⇒ x = 5/7
Hence additive inverse of - 5/7 is 5/7
