Question

The additive inverse of $14$ is $\_\_\_\_$.

Answer 1

Finding the additive inverse of $14$:

When we add an integer to its additive inverse, the sum is $0$.

That means, the additive inverse of an integer $a$ is $-a$ as $a+(-a)=0$.

$14+(-14)=0$

Hence, the additive inverse of $14$ is $-14$.
