Any number minus itself equals zero. Any number plus its opposite equals zero. Any number times zero equals zero.
additive inverses
Not unless at least one of the numbers is zero.
Two numbers that are equal distance from zero on a number line are called "opposites" or "additive inverses." For example, -3 and 3 are opposites because they are both three units away from zero, one in the negative direction and the other in the positive direction. The sum of these two numbers equals zero.
The sum of two numbers will be zero when the two numbers are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. For example, if one number is positive, the other must be negative, such as in the case of 5 and -5. Mathematically, this can be expressed as ( a + b = 0 ), where ( b = -a ).
The square root of zero is zero and the square root of one is one. No other real numbers have square roots equal to themselves. In other words, the solution set to x=x2 is {0,1}
yes too answer can equal zero. for example: 12m added to 24 equals zero.

Absolute value
opposites
Not unless at least one of the numbers is zero.
999,999,999,999 + 1
Zero divided by any number is zero. If you start out with two numbers that aren't zero, then the result of a division is never zero.
That is called Absolute Value
For two numbers to be equidistant from zero, one must be the negative of the other. As one is the negative of the other, it is the additive inverse of that number. The sum of an number and its additive inverse is zero.
Numbers the same distance from zero (linearly) have the same "absolute value" whether positive or negative.
The square root of zero is zero and the square root of one is one. No other real numbers have square roots equal to themselves. In other words, the solution set to x=x2 is {0,1}
The oxidation numbers in a neutral compound must equal zero. This is because the overall charge of a neutral compound is zero, so the sum of the oxidation numbers must balance out to zero.
