I believe that the answer to this question is -a+b, as an additive inverse is supposed to make the equation equal to zero when you add the inverse and its equation together. That means that when you add -a and a, you get zero, and -b and b is zero as well, so this would be the most logical explanation to your question.
Subtracting an integer is the same as adding the additive inverse. In symbols: a - b = a + (-b), where "-b" is the additive inverse (the opposite) of b.
Additive inverse: change all signs. Multiplicative inverse: flip it over.
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.
-45
The additive inverse is the sum of two numbers that will equal zero. The additive inverse of -18 is 18.

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).

-129
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.
One is the additive inverse of the other.
The additive inverse of x is -(x), so the additive inverse of -45 is -(-45), or 45.
The additive inverse of 88 is -88; the additive inverse of -88 is 88. The additive inverse can be though of as the solution of a + x = 0, for any number a.
-1 is the additive inverse of 1.
The additive inverse of -1.13 is 1.13 .
