Question

Which statement include two quantities in the real world that are additive inverses Noa hiked 2 mi up a mountain trail and then hiked 2 mi down a trail A lithium ion has 3 positively charged protons and 2 negatively charged electrons A hot air balloon ascended 2000 ft from the ground and then descends Daniella overdraws her account by $70 and then deposits $100 in the account

Answer 1

Noa hiked 2 mi up a mountain trail and then hiked 2 mi down a trail

A hot air balloon ascended 2000 ft from the ground and then descends 2,000 ft

Explanation:

The additive inverses should be that

if a number i.e. a so it would be inverse like -a

And the sum of both would be zero i.e.

a + (-a) = 0

Now going through the options given

1st option should be

2 + (-2) = 0

This shows the additive inverses

The second option be

= + 3+ (-2)

= 3 - 2

= 1

The third option is

= 2000 + (-2000)

= 0 ft

This shows the additive inverses

The fourth option is

= -$70 + $100

= $30

Therefore the first and third option is additive inverses
