Which statement about the sum of two additive inverses is true? select all that apply.

a.
the sum is 1.

b.
the sum is zero.

c.
the sum must be a positive number.

d.
the sum must be a negative number.

e.
the addends are the same number with opposite signs.

f.
the addends are the same number with the same signs.

For this case we have that by definition, the additive inverse of a number is given by its opposite. That is, it is that number that with the opposite sign is added to the original number, obtaining as a result "zero".

Example:

The additive inverse of 5 is -5. Thus,

Thus, the correct options are:

Option B, E

Option B, E

8

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
