Question

The Additive Inverse Of $10$ Is

Answer 1

Determine the additive inverse of $10$.

Additive inverse simply means changing the sign of the number. Adding a number to its additive inverse results in $0$.

Additive invers of $N$ is $-N$

$N+\left(-N\right)=0$

Here, $N=10$

$$\begin{gathered} 10+(-10) \\ =10-10 \\ =0 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the additive inverse of $10$ is “$-10$”.
