Answer:

The sum of a number and its additive inverse is always​ 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive inverse is basically like a negative of a number so like if 15 is the number, its additive inverse is -15 and if a number is -15, its additive inverse is 15. You basically multiply (-1) to the number to get its additive inverse and their sum is always 0 because they just cancel each other out.

E.g. 15 + (-15) = 15-15

                     = 0

      (-15) + 15 = 0
