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.

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).

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.
The additive inverse of x is -(x), so the additive inverse of -45 is -(-45), or 45.
One is the additive inverse of the other.
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.
What is the additive inverse of -4a?
