Because the opposite of 8 for example is -8 and 8+(-8) = 0
The sum of a number and its opposite would be zero. Example: 8 + -8 (since it's easier to not use double signs i'll write it this way) 8 - 8 = 0.
If the opposite is meant to be the additive opposite and not the multiplicative opposite, then their sum is zero. The reason is that is what defines an additive opposite!
The sum of 8 and 2 is 10
If by "opposite" you mean "additive inverse", the sum is zero. For example, 5 + (-5) = 0.
Because the opposite of 8 for example is -8 and 8+(-8) = 0
the opposite of a sum is the difference
The sum of a number and its opposite would be zero. Example: 8 + -8 (since it's easier to not use double signs i'll write it this way) 8 - 8 = 0.
If the opposite is meant to be the additive opposite and not the multiplicative opposite, then their sum is zero. The reason is that is what defines an additive opposite!
sum of a quantity means simply that you add things up. For example the sum of 2,3 and 4 is 9 and the opposite is -9
The sum of 8 and 2 is 10

If by "opposite" you mean "additive inverse", the sum is zero. For example, 5 + (-5) = 0.
Light as in the opposite of dark? Then it would be "Sum lux." "Ego sum lux" is also appropriate. Light as in the opposite of heavy? Then it would be "Sum levis" (or "Ego sum levis)."
The sum will take the sign of whichever number is larger (disregarding the signs). -6 + 8 = 2 6 + -8 = -2
Because the put the opposite #'s on the opposite side
