Question

write the additive inverse of 253​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The additive inverse of 253 is the number that when added to 253 will equal 0. Here is the equation to solve the problem where x is the additive inverse of 253:

253 + x = 0

When we solve the equation above for x, we get x = -253. Thus, the answer to "What is the additive inverse of 253?" is -253.

Additive Inverse of 253 = -253

 

The two addends in an addition equation are interchangeable, which means that the answer to "What is the additive inverse of -253?" or "What is the additive inverse of negative 253?" is 253.

Since the additive inverse of 253 is -253, additive inverse is also known as the opposite number. To get the additive inverse of a postive number you put a minus in front of it and to get the additive inverse of a negative number, you remove the minus to make it a positive number.

This also means that the double additive inverse of 253 is 253, because you add the minus and then remove it again.
