Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

The additive inverse is the number which added to it will make 0. Since a positive and a negative are like have $1 and in debt $-1, when added together they make 0. Every negative number has a positive number which makes it 0 and so does every positive number have a negative number which makes it 0.
