Question

Find the sum of additive inverse of 4/9 & -2/3

Answer 1

SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

• Additive inverse is a number which when added to the original number yields a zero.

• It is usually the negative of a given number.

$\bold{Additive \ inverse \ of \ \dfrac{4}{9}} = \dfrac{-4}{9} \\\\\bold{ Additive \ inverse \ of \ \dfrac{-2}{3}} = \dfrac{2}{3}$

Adding, we get,

$\dfrac{-4}{9} +\dfrac{2}{3} \\\\=\dfrac{-12+18}{27} \\=\boxed{\boxed{\bold{ \dfrac{6}{27} }}}$
