Question

Find the sum of additive inverse and multiplicative inverse of -5.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

additive inverse of -5 = 5

multiplicative inverse of -5 = 1/-5

SUM

5+1/-5

(25+(-1))/5

(25-1)/5

24/5

=4.8

Answer 2

$Additive \: Inverse \: of \: -5 = 5$

$Multiplicative Inverse \: of \: -5 \\ = \frac{ - 1}{5}$

$= 5 + ( \frac{ - 1}{5} )$

$= \frac{5}{1} - \frac{1}{5}$

$= \frac{25 - 1}{5}$

$= \frac{24}{5}$
