We're confident that we could probably answer that
if we knew what the "opposite" of a number is.
Zero. e.g. The opposite of plus 15 is minus 15 and 15-15 = 0
Why is the opposite of 15 not 1/15 ? It is the reciprocal.
Why is the opposite of 15 not 51 ? It is a mirror.
Likewise, -15 is the "negative of" 15. The opposite of a positive is always a negative.
