Answer:

7/9 + (-7/9) = 0

Explanation:

Definition of additive inverse:

Two numbers are additive inverses if their sum is zero.

For example, 2 and -2 are additive inverses since 2 + (-2) = 0.

Now your problem:

7/9 + (-7/9) =

7/9 and -7/9 are additive inverses.

Therefore, their sum is 0.

7/9 + (-7/9) = 0
