Two integers that are opposites are -3 and 3. Opposite integers are numbers that are the same distance from zero on the number line but in opposite directions. In this case, -3 is three units to the left of zero, while 3 is three units to the right.
It is zero and that is simply because that is how additive opposites are defined.
Their total is zero.
Yes.
Integers are whole numbers without decimals or fractions.

Yes.
The two sets are the same: the set of integers.
Integers are whole numbers without decimals or fractions.
The answer depends on what is meant by "their opposites". If you mean additive opposites then the set is of all non-zero integers.

False. Counting numbers (also known as natural numbers) are positive integers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, ...). The opposite of a counting number would be negative integers or zero, which are also integers, but not all integers are opposites of counting numbers. Thus, while some opposites of counting numbers are integers, not all integers are opposites of counting numbers.
