Subtracting a number is the same as adding its additive inverse. For which elevation do we need to find the additive inverse?. What is the additive inverse of that elevation? Help please

Learning to subtract rational numbers by adding the additive inverse can be explained to your child as being the same as finding the opposite. This can even be described to your child as being a similar concept to one that they have worked with in the past where subtraction is the opposite of addition.

Additive inverse can be defined as adding a number with the opposite or the negative of that number to equal zero. The additive inverse of 1 is (-1), the additive inverse of 2 is (-2) and so on.

Example: 5 + (-5) = 0

In this example, (-5) is the additive inverse.

You can then take additive inverse one step when finding the additive inverse when subtracting rational numbers.

Example: 7 - 4 = 7 + (-4)

3 = 3

When finding the inverse, it is important to keep in mind that what you do to one side, you must do the opposite to another. In the example above, because you subtracted a positive four on one side, you are going to add a negative four to the other. This will make the equation equal on both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

I need to find the additive inverse of the number being subtracted. That number is -9.6. The additive inverse of -9.6 is 9.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

You might want to word it differently because this is the answer from the teachers answer key (:

So you could also word it like: I need to find the inverse additive to the number being subtracted. That number will be -9.6. 9.6 is the proportional inverse of -9.6.
