Question

which equation shows the additive inverse of a number

Answer 1

Answer:

number

For a given x , if there exists x′ such that x + x′ ( = x′ + x ) = o , then x′ is called an additive inverse of x. x′ = x′ + o = x′ + (x + x″) = (x′ + x) + x″ = o + x″ = x″. For example, since addition of real numbers is associative, each real number has a unique additive inverse.

Answer 2

Answer:

Additive inverse of a number is obtained by changing the sign of the no. and when the number itself and its additive inverse are added, they give the sum 0.

Explanation:

For eg.

4+(-4) = 0

Here, 4 and (-4) are additive inverse of each other.
