Question

5 Which property of real numbers is illustrated by the

equation - 3 + 3 = 0?
1) additive identity
2) commutative property of addition
associative property of addition
4) additive inverse

Answer 1

Communicative property of addition associative property of addition

Answer 2

Additive inverse

Explanation:

Every real number has an additive inverse, i.e., for every real number x, there exists a real number y such that

`x+y=0`

Obviously, y is simply -x.

So, in this case, we can see that 3 and -3 are additive inverse, because they give 0 when summed.
