Question

find the sum of the additive inverse of -8/9 and the additive identity

Answer 1

Answer:

the inverse of a number is such a number which on performing its respective function will give the identity

Step-by-step explanation:additive inverse of 8 is -8

and the multiplicative inverse of 8 = 1/8

sum of the multiplicative inverse and additive inverse of 8 = - 8 + 1/8

                                                                                                     =(-8*8+ 1)/8

                                                                                                      =(-64+1)/8

                                                                                                      = -63/8

                                                                                                      = -7.875
