Answer:

-5, +3.4, -3.35, and- 9 1 3

Explanation:

To find the opposite of any number we multiply it with -1 or divide it with -1

The opposite of 5 is given by 5 (-1)= -5

The opposite of -3.4 is given by -3.4 (-1)= 3.4

The opposite of 3.35 is given by 3.35 (-1)= -3.35

The opposite of 913 is given by 913 (-1)= -913

This property is called the additive inverse. The additive inverse is that property which on addition of the numbers gives the answer = zero.

5-5= 0

-3.4+3.4= 0

3.35-3.35=0

913-913=0
