What is an additive inverse property?
the additive inverse property states that a number plus it's opposite equals zero. in other words, x + (-x) = 0 example: 5 + (-5) = 0
Which property is illustrated here 18 minus 18 equals 0?
The existence, for the number 18, of an additive inverse which is -18.
What property of equality is if ab plus cd equals ef plus cd then ab equals ef?
The existence of the additive inverse (of ab).
What is the additive inverse of 9.1?
We are talking group theory here. A group with addition has an additive inverse. A group with multiplication has a multiplicative inverse. The additive inverse of a number x is a y with x + y = 0. The additive inverse of x is written -x. Hence, the additive inverse of 9.1 equals -9.1. The reason that this question can arise is that beyond groups, there are rings and fields. Rings and fields have, besides addition, also multiplication. An element can have an additive inverse and a multiplicative inverse at the same time.
What is a example of addition inverses in math?
The additive inverse of a real number is the number that when added to it equals zero, the identity element for addition. That is, the additive inverse of any real number x is -x.
