negative of a number gives its additive inverse
It depends on whether you mean additive inverse or multiplicative inverse.
A number and its additive inverse add up to zero. If a number has no sign, add a "-" in front of it to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of 5 is -5. The additive inverse of x is -x. If a number has a minus sign, take it away to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of -10 is 10. The additive inverse of -y is y.
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.

negative of a number gives its additive inverse
Find the additive inverse (opposite) of: 18/23
The additive inverse of a number is the negative of that number. Given one number, its additive inverse is the number that needs to be added to it so that the sum is zero. Thus: The additive inverse of 2.5 is -2.5 The additive inverse of -7.998 is 7.998

The additive inverse for a number is its negative value. The sum of an integer and its additive inverse is zero. For the example (5), the additive inverse would be (-5).

What is additive inverse
The additive inverse of 18 is -18. The additive inverse of any number is the opposite of that number, such that the sum of the original number and the additive inverse is zero.
Opposites in math are called inverses. There are two of these inverses: an additive and a multiplicative. The additive inverse of a number is that number multiplied by -1. If this is added to the number, then the result will be 0. The multiplicative inverse of a number is its reciprocal. This is the number converted into a fraction then flipped. If you multiply a number with its multiplicative inverse, the result will be 1.
The additive inverse of x is -(x), so the additive inverse of -45 is -(-45), or 45.
