Zero is the only number that's its own opposite. While 0 is technically not signed (it's neither positive nor negative), it meets the definition for being its own opposite because 0 + 0 = 0.


Why zero is its own opposite?

Because 1, 1 has the opposite of -1 and the in between is zero so there is nothing for zero to be opposite to except 2, itself. If you were to actually look at the shape of 0 on a computer or phone you would notice that it is symmetrical so the opposite to one side is the other. One half is on the negative side of numbers while one half is on the positive.


Is zero its own opposite?

Zero is not opposite infinity. If all opposites sum to zero than zero+infinity do not. Zero can be difined as (x-x), or two exact opposites. When dividing zero one arrives at 0/x=0 but through algebra 0(0) must = x. When zero is in a finite system (x-x)+x=x One finds that zero retains its self nullifying properties. Yet in divisions and multiplications zero takes on properties other than its own. Groups of zero, or only zero produce something, but when there is something zero keeps self nullification.

The answer is in your own question. A divide by zero error is a divide or mod by zero type of error. In MSVC++ it has the error code C2124. Ultimately it is a fatal error and will either produce a compile time error or throw an unhandled exception at runtime.


How do you solve 3a plus b equals 1 and a plus b equals to find a common solution?

The second equation is not complete and there is not sufficient information for a solution. It would make no sense for me to guess what a + b equals since, in that case, I may as well start posting my own questions and answering them!
