Solution

The correct option is A True

Explanation:

Given that subtracting a term from a given expression is the same as adding its additive inverse to the given expression.

We know that additive inverse is the number that is added to the given number to make the sum zero.

For example,

In 5+-5=0, -5 is the additive inverse of 5.

If we subtract 5 from 5, the result is 5-5=0.

The answer is the same in both cases.

we can say that subtracting a term from a given expression is the same as adding its additive inverse to the given expression.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
