Question

The number 5 and -5 are their own ___

Answer 1

The number 5 and -5 are their own additive inverse  

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 5 and -5 are their own additive inverse

Additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to a , yields zero

5  - 5  = 0

=> - 5 is additive inverse of 5

-5  + 5 = 0

=> 5 is additive inverse of - 5

or we can say they are negation of each other

-a is the negation of a

negation of 5  = - 5

negation of - 5  = -(-5) = 5

Hence 5 & -5 are negation of each other

or 5 and -5 are their own  additive inverse
