As far as positive numbers are concerned, the additive inverse of a positive number is a negative number with the same magnitude (i.e. the additive inverse of 5 is -5). It would be wrong to simply say that "negative" and "additive inverse" are correct, because the additive inverse of a negative number is a positive number.
Opposite.
A number and its additive inverse add up to zero. If a number has no sign, add a "-" in front of it to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of 5 is -5. The additive inverse of x is -x. If a number has a minus sign, take it away to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of -10 is 10. The additive inverse of -y is y.

-45
The additive inverse is the sum of two numbers that will equal zero. The additive inverse of -18 is 18.
opposite
Opposite.
Another name for the opposite of a number is Additive Inverse.
Additive inverse: -2.5 Multiplicative inverse: 0.4
The additive inverse of -10 is +10
The additive inverse for a number is its negative value. The sum of an integer and its additive inverse is zero. For the example (5), the additive inverse would be (-5).
A number and its additive inverse add up to zero. If a number has no sign, add a "-" in front of it to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of 5 is -5. The additive inverse of x is -x. If a number has a minus sign, take it away to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of -10 is 10. The additive inverse of -y is y.
-129
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.
The additive inverse of x is -(x), so the additive inverse of -45 is -(-45), or 45.
The additive inverse of 88 is -88; the additive inverse of -88 is 88. The additive inverse can be though of as the solution of a + x = 0, for any number a.
