The opposite side of zero from a given number is its additive inverse, which is obtained by changing its sign. For example, if the number is 5, the opposite side of zero would be -5, as both are equidistant from zero on the number line. Similarly, for -3, the opposite side would be +3. This concept applies to both positive and negative numbers.
By numbers at the same distance but on opposite sides of zero.
These two numbers are:* At opposite sides of the number zero, and* At the same distance from the number zero.

The opposite of 125 is -125. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is its additive inverse, which means it is the same distance from zero on the number line but in the opposite direction. Therefore, while 125 is positive, its opposite is negative.
The opposite of 127 is -127. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is its additive inverse, which means it is the same distance from zero on the number line but in the opposite direction. Thus, while 127 is positive, its opposite, -127, is negative.
additive inverse
The opposite of 120 is -120. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is its additive inverse, meaning it is the same distance from zero on the number line but in the opposite direction. Therefore, while 120 is a positive number, -120 is its negative counterpart.
