The answer depends on whether the "opposite" means the multiplicative inverse or the additive inverse.
-6. The additive inverse of a number is the number, that, when added to the original number, causes it to equal zero. You can kind of think of it like an opposite number. So, the additive inverse of 2 is -2, and -4 is 4.
Zero. For example, the additive inverse of 5 is -5, and 5 + (-5) = 0.
The additive inverse states that a number added to its opposite will equal zero. A + (-A) = 0. The "opposite" number here is the "negative" of the number. For any number n, the additive inverse is (-1)n. So therefore yes.
Any number plus zero is equal to the original amount.
