The additive inverse.
These two numbers are:* At opposite sides of the number zero, and* At the same distance from the number zero.
They are the numbers that are placed on a number line that are exact same distance away from 0
The opposite of a positive number is a negative number. For example, the positive number 5 becomes the negative number -5 (minus five).Both numbers are the same distance either side of zero (-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
0 as the opposite of 3 is -3. 3+ (-3) = 0
The additive inverse.
An integer less than 0 would be at the same distance from 0 as its positive equivalent, but would lie on the opposite side (left) of the 0.

additive inverse
The answer depends on the context.The additive opposite of a number, X, is the number -X. The two numbers add to make 0 (the additive identity). To get the additive opposite of a number simply change its sign: from + to - or from - to +.The multiplicative opposite of a number, X, is the number 1/X. The two numbers multiply to 1 (the multiplicative identity).
the number 0 is always equal to its opposite
The opposite of a positive number is a negative number. For example, the positive number 5 becomes the negative number -5 (minus five).Both numbers are the same distance either side of zero (-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Zero does not have an opposite * * * * * While it is true that zero has no multiplicative opposite (or inverse), it certainly has an additive inverse, and that is also zero, since 0 + 0 = 0
0 as the opposite of 3 is -3. 3+ (-3) = 0
