      • An additive inverse of a number is defined as the value, which on adding with the original number results in zero value. It is the value we add to a number to yield zero. Suppose, a is the original number, then its additive inverse will be minus of a i.e.,-a, such that; a+ (-a) = a – a = 0 Example: Additive inverse of 10 is -10, as 10 + (-10) = 0

  2. For example, the additive inverse of 8 is -8, whereas the additive inverse of -6 is 6. The addition of a number and its additive inverse is equal to the additive identity. Click here to know what is an additive identity and multiplicative identity along with examples.

  3. Additive inverse is what you add to a number to make the sum zero. For example, the additive inverse of 4 is -4 because their sum is zero. When two numbers are added together to get 0, then we say both the numbers are additive inverses of each other.

  4. Short Summary. 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...

  5. Nov 21, 2023 · 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 +...

  6. Dec 14, 2023 · Additive inverse is the value that, when added to a number, yields a sum of zero. It is the opposite or negation of the original number. The additive inverse of a number is denoted by a negative sign (-) followed by the number.

  7. For example, when solving an equation like $x + 5 = 12$, we can subtract $5$ from both sides to isolate the variable $x$ by using the additive inverse property: $x + 5 - 5 = 12 - 5$, which simplifies to $x = 7$.
