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.
Why can you calculate (-20) plus ( plus 8) by calculating 20-8 and taking the opposite of your result?
When you calculate (-20) plus (+8) by finding 20-8 and taking the opposite of the result, you are essentially using the concept of adding a negative number. By subtracting 8 from 20, you get 12. Taking the opposite of 12 gives you -12, which is the same as adding -12 to -20. This method follows the rules of arithmetic and helps simplify the calculation by converting it into a subtraction problem.
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 the opposite direction is the same as adding a n number and a n Number?
it is the same as adding a negative number to a positive number
-1.6-6.2 Subtract the signed number by adding the opposite of the second number to the first?
-7.800000000000001
What is the result of adding an integer and it's opposite?
The result of adding and integer and its opposite is negation. A + (-A) = 0 For all real integers. It has the effect of adding 0 to a sum. Example: 32 + 16 + (-16) + 5 = 37 = 32 + 0 + 5.

What is adding a force acting in one direction to a force acting in the opposite direction called?
It is the same as adding a positive and adding a negative number
What is the result when you add 2 to a given number?
The result of adding 2 to a given number is the sum of the given number and 2.
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.
Can you get even result by adding any five odd numbers?
No - adding an odd quantity of odd numbers will always result in an odd number.
