Question

Find the sum of 2/3 and its additive inverse

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

The opposite sign of the supplied integer is called additive inverse. (For instance, + becomes - and - becomes +.)

As a result, -2/3 = 2/3 is the additive inverse. (It went from being negative to being positive.)

Let's add them up now.

-2/3 + 2/3 = 0/3 = 0 ( This is because when a number is added to its additive inverse , the numbers cancel out and the sum is 0. )

As a result, the product of -2/3 and its additive inverse (2/3) equals 0. (additive identity).

Answer 2

Answer: 0

Explanation:

Additive inverse of 2/3 = -2/3

Therefore,
=> 2/3 + -2/3
= 0/3
=> 0

Likewise, the sum of a number and its additive inverse will always result in zero since the additive inverse is nothing but the opposite sign value for that number.
