Answer:

- 5 5/6 or you can write it as -35/6.

Explanation:

The additive inverse of 6 is -6 because 6 + (-6) = 0 while the multiplicative inverse is 1/6 because 6 * 1/6 = 1.

So the answer is - 6 + 1/6 = - 5 5/6.

Answer:

-
(35)/(6)

Explanation:

The additive inverse is the opposite of 6, that is - 6 ( 6 - 6 = 0 )

The multiplicative inverse is the reciprocal of 6 , that is
(1)/(6) ( 6 ×
(1)/(6) = 1 )

Thus their sum is

- 6 +
(1)/(6) = -
(36)/(6) +
(1)/(6) = -
(35)/(6)
