Find the additive inverses of the following integers:
6, 9, 123, –76, –85, 1000.
Additive inverse property:
Case 1: If x is positive number, x+(-x)=0. So, (-x) is called as additive inverse of x.
Case 2: If x is negative number, -x+(-(-x))=0. So, (x) is called as additive inverse of x.
According to the above property,
The additive inverse of 6 is (-6).
The additive inverse of 9 is (-9).
The additive inverse of 123 is
(-123).
The additive inverse of -76 is 76.
The additive inverse of -85 is 85.
The additive inverse of 1000 is
(-1000).
