Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive inverse means the opposite sign of the given number. ( Ex: + becomes - and - becomes + )

So , the additive inverse of -2/3 = 2/3 ( It changed from negative to positive )

Now lets add them up.

-2/3 + 2/3 = 0/3 = 0 ( This is because when a number is added to its additive inverse , the numbers cancel out and the sum is 0. )

Therefore , the sum of -2/3 and its additive inverse ( 2/3 ) is 0 (additive identity).
