Question

Find the additive inverse of
(i) −57
(ii) 183
(iii) 0
(iv) −1001
(v) 2054

Answer 1

(i) −57 + 57 = 0
So, the additive inverse of −57 is 57.

(ii) 183 − 183 = 0
So, the additive inverse of 183 is −183.

(iii) 0 + 0 = 0
So, the additive inverse of 0 is 0.

(iv) −1001 + 1001 = 0
So, the additive inverse of​ −1001 is 1001.

(v) 2054 − 2054 = 0
So, the additive inverse of​ 2054 is −2054
