Question

Write an integer which is $4$ more than its additive inverse.

Answer 1

Let the required integer be $x$.

The additive inverse of $x$ $=-x$ ( as the additive inverse of a number is the opposite of the number on the number line )

It is given that, $x=-x+4$

$\Rightarrow$ $x+x=4$

$\Rightarrow$ $2x=4$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=2$

Hence, $2$ is the integer which is $4$ more than its additive inverse.
