Additive Inverses
Additive Inverses is a Grade 7 math skill from enVision, Mathematics, Grade 7, covering Integers and Rational Numbers. The Additive Inverse states that the sum of any integer and its opposite is always zero. An integer and its opposite are called additive inverses. Explanation When you add an integer and its opposite, the result is always zero. This is a special case of adding integers with different signs where their absolute values are equal. This is a special case of adding integers with different signs where their absolute values are equal.
Key Concepts
The Additive Inverse Property states that the sum of any integer and its opposite is always zero. An integer and its opposite are called additive inverses.
$$a + ( a) = 0$$.
