Math Problem Statement
Jefferson finds the additive inverses of some numbers. Find the numbers that make the statements true. (The additive inverse of 33 is ___, etc.)
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 is .
- The additive inverse of 33 is -33.
- The additive inverse of -79 is 79.
- The additive inverse of 16 is -16.
- The additive inverse of -84 is 84.
