Question

Write the additive inverse of
(a)
-137
(b)
+45​

Answer 1

Answer:

the additive inverse of

(a)-173 is 173

(b)+45 is -45

Step-by-step explanation:

the additive inverse of a number is the number which added to a number gives zero(0).

then,

(a) -173+......=0

=-173+173=0

then,

173 is the additive inverse of -173.

(b) 45+......=0

=45+(-45)=0

then,

-45 is the additive inverse of 45.
