What is the additive inverse of 35?

-35 The additive inverse of a number is the number that will equal 0 when added to the original number so the additive inverse of 3 is -3 the additive inverse of 782 is -782 etc.


Multiplicative inverse of -3?

The multiplicative inverse of -3 is -(1/3) or negative one-third. The multiplicative inverse of a number is the number that you multiply it by to get a result of 1 (the multiplicative identity). So, since -3 times -(1/3) is 1, -(1/3) is the multiplicative inverse of -3. Similarly, +3 is the ADDITIVE inverse of -3. The additive inverse of a number is the number you add to it to get a result of 0 (the additive identity). So, since -3 + (+3) = 0, +3 is the additive inverse of -3. The original answer given here was that the multiplicative inverse of -3 is +3, which is flat incorrect.


What is the additive inverse of eighteen?

The additive inverse of 18 is -18. The additive inverse of any number is the opposite of that number, such that the sum of the original number and the additive inverse is zero.


What additive inverse of-45?

The additive inverse of x is -(x), so the additive inverse of -45 is -(-45), or 45.


What are opposites in algebra?

usually this means positive numbers and their negative counterparts. The opposite of a number is its additive inverse. The sum of a number and its opposite is zero. (This is sometimes called the property of opposites, or additive inverse property). Example: -999 + 999 = 0; therefore -999 and 999 are additive inverse (1/3) + (-1/3) = 0; therefore 1/3 and -1/3 are additive inverse 1 + (-1) = 0; therefore 1 and -1 are additive inverse a + (-a) = 0; therefore a and -a are additive inverse, So, the opposite of -999 is 999; the opposite of 1/3 is -1/3; the opposite of 1 is -1, and the opposite of a is -a.
