Question

The sum of additive inverse of 5 and additive inverse of -2 is

• A. -3
• B. $\frac{-3}{10}$
• C. 3
• D. -7

Answer 1

The correct option is A -3

Additive inverse of 5 is -5($\because$ 5+(-5)=0) and additive inverse of -2 is 2($\because$ 2+(-2)=0).
So, sum of additive inverse of 5 and additive inverse of -2 is sum of -5 and 2, which is -3.
