What are operations undo each other or the additive inverse?
Inverse operations. Additive inverse is not one operation but they are elements of a set.
What is a additive inverse of one half?
(-1/5)
What is important about an additive inverse?
They can be used to move additive terms from one side of an equation to the other.
Is -12 and 12 equal?
No. One is the additive inverse of the other.
How is the additive identity property different to the additive inverse property?
The additive identity is a unique element of a set which has the property that adding it to any element of the set leaves the value of that element unchanged. The identity is normally denoted by 0. That is: for any X in the set, X + 0 = 0 + X = X Whether or not the set is commutative, addition of the identity always is. The additive inverse of one element of a set is a member of the set (not necessarily different nor unique) such that the sum of the two is the additive identity. The additive inverse of an element X is normally denoted by -X. Thus, X + (-X) = (-X) + X = 0
