how can you determine the additive inverse of a number. What is the sum of a number and its additive inverse?

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to a, yields zero. This number is also known as the opposite (number), sign change, and negation. For a real number, it reverses its sign: the opposite to a positive number is negative, and the opposite to a negative number is positive. For example, the additive inverse of 12 is –12. The additive inverse of –3 is 3. Formally, the additive inverse of x is –x. Note: The sum of a number and its additive inverse is 0.

Note: The sum of a number and its additive inverse is 0.

An example can be 14 + (-14) = 0

Whenever you encounter a problem like the one I put, your answer should ALWAYS be 0 because you start with 14. Now take away 14 you end up with 0.

36 girls

step-by-step explanation:

the 48 boys is 4 parts of the ratio

divide 48 by 4 to obtain one part of the ratio

= 12 ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 12 = 36 ← number of girls

the answer is two. hope this !
