Its impossible if they are both absolute value with different signs. If they have different signs one would be absolute value and one would be negative value.
opposites, additive inverses
If you are talking about same numbers but different signs then there are a lot. such a l-4l = l4l because they are the same amount of space to the zero.
Subtract the absolute value of the smaller number from the absolute value of the larger number. The answer will have the sign of the larger numbers.
For example, 5 is the "inverse" of -5. And -7 is the "inverse" for 7.

No. The sign you will use is going to be the sign with the greater absolute value.

If the signs are the same, add the absolute values and keep the sign. If the signs are different, subtract the lesser absolute value from the greater absolute value and keep the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.
The absolute value is when even if a negative number when put in absolute value signs is positive such as.. l-23 l the absolute value is 23. l..l are absolute value signs
The sign of the sum is positive when the absolute value of the positive addend is greater than that of the negative addend.
Find the absolute value of -3 plus the opposite of -3?
If 2 numbers are different, but have the same absolute value, then one is the opposite of the other. Any number plus its opposite equals zero.
Similar fractions. or decimals ending in repeating 9s - for example, 0.5 = 0.4999... or fractions and percentages eg 1/5 = 20% The answer cannot be numbers equal in absolute value but with opposite signs because although they have the same absolute value they do not have the same value - as required by the question.
