Answer:

c)17

Explanation:

additive inverse example:Using the same approach, if x is a negative number, then its additive inverse is equal and opposite in sign to it. This means that the additive inverse of a negative number is positive. For instance, if x equals -12, then its additive inverse is y = 12.
