Determine the additive inverse of each
The rule of additive inverse is as follows;
- For any positive number (n), the additive inverse is (-n)
- And for any negative number (-n), the additive inverse is (n)
Using the above, the solution is as follows:
[tex]1.\ 6 - (-3)[/tex]
Rule: 6 becomes -6 and - (-3) becomes +(-3)
So, the additive inverse is [tex]-6 + (-3)[/tex]
[tex]2.\ -6 -3[/tex]
Rule: -6 becomes 6 and -3 becomes 3
So, the additive inverse is [tex]6 + 3[/tex]
[tex]3.\ 6 - 3[/tex]
Rule: 6 becomes -6 and -3 becomes 3
So, the additive inverse is [tex]-6 + 3[/tex]
[tex]4.\ -6 - (-3)[/tex]
Rule: -6 becomes 6 and -(-3) becomes +(-3)
So, the additive inverse is [tex]6 + (-3)[/tex]
