These are often called "opposite numbers". The more precise term is "additive inverse". For example, the additive inverse of 5 is minus 5.

The two numbers whose sum is 58 and whose difference is 16 are 21 and 37.
In a neutral compound, the sum of the oxidation numbers of the atoms in the compound is zero.
A pair of numbers whose sum is zero. The additive inverse of 10 is -10 because 10+(-10) = 0.
find two positive numbers whose product is a maximum. 1.) the sum is s.
For the product to be zero, one of the numbers must be 0. So the question is to find the maximum sum for fifteen consecutive whole numbers, INCLUDING 0. This is clearly achived by the numbers 0 to 14 (inclusive), whose sum is 105.
