-3/2
If by "opposite" you mean its additive inverse, the answer is 0. If by "opposite" you mean its multiplicative inverse, for the number x, it will be (x+1/x).
0. By the definition of "additive inverse", the sum of ANY number and its additive inverse must be 0.
The additive inverse of 41 is -41. An additive inverse is the number that will make the sum equal zero.
The additive inverse is the sum of two numbers that will equal zero. The additive inverse of -18 is 18.
It is zero, by definition of additive inverse!

0. By the definition of "additive inverse", the sum of ANY number and its additive inverse must be 0.
The additive inverse for a number is its negative value. The sum of an integer and its additive inverse is zero. For the example (5), the additive inverse would be (-5).
The additive inverse of 41 is -41. An additive inverse is the number that will make the sum equal zero.
The additive inverse is the sum of two numbers that will equal zero. The additive inverse of -18 is 18.
An inverse, without any qualification, is taken to be the multiplicative inverse. is The inverse of a number, x (x not 0), is 1 divided by x. Any number multiplied by its inverse must be equal to 1. There is also an additive inverse. For any number y, the additive inverse is -y. And the sum of the two must always be 0.

The additive inverse of 18 is -18. The additive inverse of any number is the opposite of that number, such that the sum of the original number and the additive inverse is zero.
It is zero, by definition of additive inverse!
Number + additive inverse of number = 0, by definition (the additive inverse of a number is that number, which when added to the original number, results in a sum of 0) Number + additive inverse of number = 0, by definition (the additive inverse of a number is that number, which when added to the original number, results in a sum of 0)
Identities. 1 is the multiplicative identity and 0 is the additive identity.
The sum is zero.
