No it isn’t

In mathematics, the additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to a, yields zero. ... For a real number, it reverses its sign: the opposite to a positive number is negative, and the opposite to a negative number is positive. Zero is the additive inverse of itself.

No. The additive inverse of a negative number is positive, and the additive inverse of a positive number is negative.

Answer:

x = 4
WX = WY = 25
XY = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is isosceles with side WX equal to side WY:

WX = WY

9x -11 = 7x -3

2x = 8 . . . . . add 11-7x

x = 4

Then the side measures are ...

WX = WY = 7(4) -3 = 28 -3 = 25

XY = 4(4) +1 = 16 +1 = 17
