Question

Which statement is true about a number and its additive inverse?

Answer 1

Answer: Option D

Their sum is always zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Given any number x, the additive inverse of x is -x.

For example, the additive inverse of 3 is - 3, the additive inverse of 2.2 is -2.2.

In this way, note that adding a number with the additive inverse of this number will always result in the number zero.

$x + (-x) = 0$

Therefore, the correct option is option D

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The additive inverse of a number is the same number with the negative sign

i.e. if we have a number 1 then it's additive inverse would be -1

So if we add both the number and its additive inverse the answer would be zero.

1+(-1) = 0

So, Option D their sum is always zero is correct.
