I was never sure of what the "additive inverse" is.
So, just now, just for you, I went and looked it up.

The additive inverse of any number ' A ' is the number
that you need to ADD to A to get zero. That's all !

So now, let's check out the choices:

a), 6, -(-6)

That second number, -(-6), is the same as +6 .
So the two numbers are the same.
Do you get zero when you add them up ? No.

b). -7, 7
What do you get when you add -7 and 7 ?
You get zero.
So these ARE additive inverses.

c). -7, -7
What do you get when you add -7 to -7 ?
You get -14 . That's not zero, so these
are NOT additive inverses.

d). 7, 7
What do you get when you add 7 to 7 ?
You get 14. That's NOT zero, so these
are NOT additive inverses.

e). 6, -6
What do you get when you add 6 to -6 ?
You get zero.
So these ARE additive inverses.

What do we end up with from the list of choices:

a)., c)., and d). are NOT additive inverses.

b). and e). ARE additive inverses.

There are 5 cards with a picture of a rose and 3 cards with a picture of a daisy. Alia keeps all the cards down on a table with

Furkat [3]

Answer:

P = 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 cards with a picture of a rose and 3 cards with a picture of a daisy.

Then we have a total of 8 cards.

Now Alia turns over one card, and this card has a picture of a rose, then she removes it.

This means that now there are 4 cards with a picture of a rose and 3 cards with a picture of a daisy, so now we have a total of 7 cards.
