Question

Match the following to their additive inverse.

• A. 5
• B. 1
• C. 0
• D. -11

Answer 1

When we add any two distinct numbers, if their sum is zero, then these numbers are additive inverse of each other.

1. Additive inverse of -5:

-5 + 5 = 0

Thus, additive inverse of -5 is 5.

2. Additive inverse of 11:

11 + (-11) = 0

Thus, additive inverse of 11 is -11.

3. Additive inverse of -1:

-1 + 1 = 0

Thus, additive inverse of -1 is 1.

4. Additive inverse of 0:

0 + 0 = 0

Thus, additive inverse of 0 is 0.
