-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).
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.
Identities. 1 is the multiplicative identity and 0 is the additive identity.
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)
The additive identity is a unique element of a set which has the property that adding it to any element of the set leaves the value of that element unchanged. The identity is normally denoted by 0. That is: for any X in the set, X + 0 = 0 + X = X Whether or not the set is commutative, addition of the identity always is. The additive inverse of one element of a set is a member of the set (not necessarily different nor unique) such that the sum of the two is the additive identity. The additive inverse of an element X is normally denoted by -X. Thus, X + (-X) = (-X) + X = 0
