Is losing $20, the same as gaining $20?
Is driving 50 miles North the same as driving 50 miles South?
Of course not!!
Negative numbers are not the same as positive numbers!!
True, but that does not apply to all numbers:
0 is the same as its additive inverse.
1 and -1 are the same as their multiplicative inverses.
They equal zero.
When the number is non-positive.
Any regular polygon with an even number of sides will have opposite angles of equal measure.
yes opposite angles are equal
Because the opposite of 8 for example is -8 and 8+(-8) = 0
the number 0 is always equal to its opposite
Opposite numbers are numbers such that their sum is equal to 0 So the opposite number of -98 is 98
When the number is 0.
Yes! When the number is negative, the absolute value of it'll be its opposite.
They equal zero.
Opposite numbers are numbers such that their sum is equal to 0 So the opposite number of -98 is 98
Call your number any variable, for example x. Then: "A number": x "The opposite of a number": -x "Is": the equal sign. "The opposite of a number is -9": -x = -9
The absolute value of a negative number is positive.
When the number is non-positive.
The opposite of a negative number is its positive counterpart. Therefore, the opposite of -35 is +35. In mathematical terms, the opposite of a number is its additive inverse, which means that when added together, they equal zero.
it can be in any shape with even number of sides.
