Question:

What's the additive inverse of -3.?

What's the additive inverse of -3.?

Answer:

Fellows, This guy is a true idiot. Don't bother answering and just report him. He's trolling.
the answer is 3. the additive inverse of a number is the number you add to make the sum equal zero.
additive inverse is the number which when added to the given number gives sum as zero Therefore the additive inverse is 3 <-- Answer (because -3 + 3=0)

I've just answered a similar question about additive inverse and absolute value. I'm posting the Q and my A below: Q What is the difference between the additive inverse of a number and its absolute value? My A. The additive inverse of a number is what you must add to that number to get a total of zero. eg. The additive inverse of 6 is -6, since we have to add -6 to 6 to get zero. Another example: The additive inverse of -3 is 3, since we have to add 3 to -3 to get zero. Another example: The additive inverse of 0 is 0, because 0 is the only number that can be added to 0 to get zero. As you can see, to get the additive inverse, just reverse the sign (+ to - ..or.. - to +) The absolute value of a number is that same number, but with its negative sign removed if it had one. examples: Absolute value of 6 is 6 Absolute value of -13 is 13 Absolute value of 0 is 0 SO, we can say that:The additive inverse of a number is a number with the same absolute value but opposite sign."
