Question

Which of the following statements shows the inverse property of addition?

Answer 1

The first answer a +(-a) =0

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is a + (-a) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse property of the sum states that any number added with its opposite results in 0, that is, a positive integer added with its negative opposite integer is equal to 0.

So if in the equation "a + (-a) = 0 " we replace "a" with any number and "-a" with its opposite, we would have 0 as result. for example:

• 5 + (-5) = 0

• 93 + (-93) = 0
