Step-by-step explanation:
The additive inverse of a number is what you add to a number to create the sum of zero. So in other words, the additive inverse of x is another number, y, as long as the sum of x + y equals zero. The additive inverse of x is equal and opposite in sign to it (so, y = -x or vice versa). For example, the additive inverse of the positive number 5 is -5. That's because their sum, or 5 + (-5) = 0.
It should be noted that the additive inverse of 0 is 0. Zero is the only real number, which is equal to its own additive inverse. It is also the only number for which the equation x = -x is true.
Additive Inverse is a process in which the number itself and its additive inverse are added the sum will be a whole number.
The Additive inverse of p / q is q / p
For eg
Additive inverse of 7 / 3 is 3 / 7
