Question

Twenty-one fish are swimming in an aquarium. Eleven are removed, leaving 10 fish. Which number is the additive inverse of the number of fish left? A) −10 B) −11 C) −21 D) 10

Answer 1

The additive inverse: The usage of addition with a negative number.

The original equation is 21 - 11 = 10

To use the additive inverse, change it so that there is an addition sign.

21 + (-11) = 10

B) -11 is your answer

hope this helps

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. -11

11 fish were taken out which is why there is a negative sign

Hope this helps
