The additive inverse of any real number is the one that when summed with the real number, its sum must be equal to zero.
Let "a" be a real number and let "b" be another real number if:
a+ b = 0
Then it is said that "b" is the additive inverse of "a" and that "a" is the additive inverse of "b".
Thus the additive inverse of "a/b" is "- a/b" because:
a/b + (- a/b) = a/b - a/b = 0
Note: a negative fraction can be written as
