Question

Additive inverse of $10$ is __

Answer 1

An additive inverse of a number is defined as the value, which on adding with the original number results in zero value. It is the value we add to a number to yield zero. Suppose,$a$ is the original number, then its additive inverse will be minus of $a$ i.e.,$-a$, such that;

$a+(-a)=a–a=0$

So, the additive inverse of $10$ is $-10$ as $10+(-10)=(-10)+10=0$.

Hence,the additive inverse of $10$ is $\underline{-10}$ .
