We're confident that we could probably answer that
if we knew what the "opposite" of a number is.
Zero. e.g. The opposite of plus 15 is minus 15 and 15-15 = 0
Why is the opposite of 15 not 1/15 ? It is the reciprocal.
Why is the opposite of 15 not 51 ? It is a mirror.
Likewise, -15 is the "negative of" 15. The opposite of a positive is always a negative.

How do number lines show that zero is is own opposite?
On a number line, zero is positioned at the center, with positive numbers to the right and negative numbers to the left. The concept of an opposite number means that when you add a number and its opposite, the result is zero. Since zero is neither positive nor negative, its opposite is itself; thus, adding zero to zero results in zero. This visually illustrates that zero is its own opposite on the number line.
What is the opposite of sum in math?
Difference. A sum is the result of adding two numbers, and a difference is the result of subtracting two numbers.
When adding two opposite integers?
Subtract the number you first thought of.
What is the opposite number of 9?
The opposite number of 9 is -9. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is the same distance from zero on the number line, but in the opposite direction. This is denoted by adding a negative sign in front of the number, indicating its direction opposite to the original number.
What is the number that is the result of adding two or more addends is called the..?
sum
Why does subtracting a number give the same result as adding its opposite?
adding its opposite?
Why is it that when subtracting an integer gives the same result as adding the opposite?
Because of the definition of addition and subtraction. When looking at a real number line: when you add you move to the left or up, when you add the opposite of a number you move in the opposite direction.

Adding a force acting in one direction to a force acting in the opposite direction is the same as adding an number and number?
Adding a force acting in one direction to a force acting in the opposite direction is called vector addition, which involves considering the magnitudes and directions of the forces. Adding two numbers is arithmetic addition, where the magnitudes are combined without considering direction.
What is the opposite number of 9?
