Question

What is the additive inverse of x=-1317, and verify -(-x) = x ?

Answer 1

1317 is the additive inverse of x = -1317.

Explanation:

Additive inverse of a number which when added to the original number gives zero as the result.

Additive inverse of x = -1317

-1317 + 1317 = 0

1317 is the additive inverse of x = -1317.

Verification of -(-x) = x

L. H. S

-(-x) = -{-(-1317)}

= - 1317

R. H. S

x = -1317

Thus, L.H.S. = R.H.S

-(-x) = x
