Question

Name the property indicated in the following:
$\frac{8}{17}+\frac{-8}{17}=0$

Answer 1

Fact: If sum of two real numbers are zero, they numbers are called additive inverse of each other. We can see that in our example $\frac{8}{17}$ and $\frac{-8}{17}$ are additive inverse of each other as, $\frac{8}{17}+\frac{-8}{17}=0$

Hence $\frac{8}{17}+\frac{-8}{17}=0$ is an application of additive inverse property.
