What is the oppostie of the opposite of an integer?

The opposite of an integer is its additive inverse, which means if the integer is ( x ), then its opposite is ( -x ). Therefore, the opposite of the opposite of an integer ( x ) would be ( -(-x) ), which simplifies back to ( x ). Thus, the opposite of the opposite of an integer is the integer itself.

How do you write the sum of four times the opposite of a number and -5?

To express the sum of four times the opposite of a number and -5, first define the number as ( x ). The opposite of ( x ) is ( -x ). Therefore, four times the opposite of ( x ) is ( 4(-x) ), which simplifies to ( -4x ). The sum of this and -5 can be written as ( -4x - 5 ).
