Problem

Henry runs up 10 flights of stairs. Then, he runs down 10 flights of stairs. Does this situation represent additive inverses? Explain.

For this case we know that Henry runs up 10 stairs and thenhe goes down 10 stairs so for this case yes that represent additive inverses because the net operation is:

10 +(-10)=0

And he back againt to 0
