Zero is the middle. The neutral. There has to be something to separate the positive and the negative.
But it IS its own ADDITIVE opposite.
Zero is the only number that's its own opposite. While 0 is technically not signed (it's neither positive nor negative), it meets the definition for being its own opposite because 0 + 0 = 0.
They are 0 which is its own additive opposite. 0 does not have a multiplicative opposite.
0 as the opposite of 3 is -3. 3+ (-3) = 0
The opposite of -8 is 8. When you add -8 and 8 together, the sum is 0. Therefore, the sum of -8 and its opposite is 0.

zero is its own opposite. 0 + -0 = 0
0 is its own additive inverse. There is no multiplicative inverse for 0.

zero has no opposite * * * * * While it is true that zero has no multiplicative opposite (or inverse), it certainly has an additive inverse, and that is also zero, since 0 + 0 = 0

The opposite of -8 is 8. When you add -8 and 8 together, the sum is 0. Therefore, the sum of -8 and its opposite is 0.
Two numbers that are the same distance from 0 but on opposite sides of 0 on the number line are called "opposite numbers." For example, 3 and -3 are opposite numbers, as they are equidistant from 0, with one being positive and the other negative.
