Math works kind of the same way, if you want to cancel a number out to get zero or take its additive inverse you would add its opposite. for example, the number 6 we want to find its opposite to get an overall value of zero what do we have to add to "6" to get zero? We would have to add -6 (negative 6) or its opposite. 6+ (-6)= 0 or 6-6=0 I hope this explanation helps a bit!
