ANSWER:
1 5/8
SOLUTION:
2 hat + -3/8
2 hat times 8 is equal to 16
2 × 8 = 16
16 subtract to 3 is equal to 13
16 -3/8 = 13/8
13 divide 8 is equal to 1 5/8
38/7 x 7/38 = 1 = multiplicative inverse 38/7 + -38/7 = 0 = additive inverse
First convert it into an improper fraction: 5 3/7 becomes 38/7. This is clear because "5" is simply "35/7" (do the math yourself) and 35/7 + 3/7 = 38/7. Additive inverse means "negative." Thus, the "additive inverse" of 38/7 is -38/7. This is true because 38/7 added to -38/7 is 0. That is the definition of an additive inverse. Multiplicative inverse means "reciprocal." Thus, the "multiplicative inverse" of 38/7 is 7/38. This is true because 38/7 multiplied by 7/38 is 266/266, or 1. That is the definition of multiplicative inverse.
The additive inverse for a number is its negative value. The sum of an integer and its additive inverse is zero. For the example (5), the additive inverse would be (-5).
A number and its additive inverse add up to zero. If a number has no sign, add a "-" in front of it to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of 5 is -5. The additive inverse of x is -x. If a number has a minus sign, take it away to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of -10 is 10. The additive inverse of -y is y.
-129
The additive inverse of 18 is -18. The additive inverse of any number is the opposite of that number, such that the sum of the original number and the additive inverse is zero.
The additive inverse of x is -(x), so the additive inverse of -45 is -(-45), or 45.
The additive inverse of 88 is -88; the additive inverse of -88 is 88. The additive inverse can be though of as the solution of a + x = 0, for any number a.
What is the additive inverse of -4a?
-45
-1 is the additive inverse of 1.
The additive inverse of -1.13 is 1.13 .
