Math Problem Statement

Jefferson finds the additive inverses of some numbers. The additive inverse of 33 is __. The additive inverse of -79 is __. The additive inverse of 16 is __. The additive inverse of -84 is __.

Solution

The image you provided contains several statements asking for the additive inverses of different numbers. Let's go over them.

The additive inverse of a number is the number that, when added to the original number, results in 0. In other words, the additive inverse of a number xx is x-x.

  1. The additive inverse of 33 is -33.
  2. The additive inverse of -79 is 79.
  3. The additive inverse of 16 is -16.
  4. The additive inverse of -84 is 84.
