Additive inverses
additive inverses
One-half and two.
Two numbers that are equal distance from zero on a number line are called "opposites" or "additive inverses." For example, -3 and 3 are opposites because they are both three units away from zero, one in the negative direction and the other in the positive direction. The sum of these two numbers equals zero.
reciprocal
Two numbers that are the same distance from zero on a number line are called "opposites." For example, +5 and -5 are opposites, as they are equidistant from zero but lie on opposite sides of it. They have the same absolute value but different signs.
additive inverses
Opposite numbers.
Absolute value
One-half and two.
The numbers are 28 and 29.
No, they are not!

Two numbers that are the same distance from zero on a number line are called "opposites." For example, +5 and -5 are opposites, as they are equidistant from zero but lie on opposite sides of it. They have the same absolute value but different signs.
For two numbers to be equidistant from zero, one must be the negative of the other. As one is the negative of the other, it is the additive inverse of that number. The sum of an number and its additive inverse is zero.
When two numbers have a sum of zero, they are called "additive inverses" or "opposites." For example, 5 and -5 are additive inverses because 5 + (-5) = 0. This concept is fundamental in mathematics, particularly in algebra.
No.
One or both of the numbers must be zero.
