Inverse property of addition:

This property states that when you add any real number with its additive inverse then the result is zero.

Let x be a real number.

The additive inverse of x is -x


x+(-x)=0

Example:

Let us consider a real number 5

The additive inverse of 5 is -5

So, as per inverse property of addition,


5+(-5)=0

Similarly, let us consider a real number 1.33

The additive inverse of 1.33 is -1.33

So, as per inverse property of addition,


1.33+(-1.33)=0

Therefore, the sum of any real number with its inverse results in zero.
