- -6
- -4
- 3
- 5
Hint:
Additive inverse of a number is the value for which when added to that number you get the answer as zero.
The correct answer is: 5
The additive inverse of a -5 is the value for which when added to -5 we get zero. Let that number be x. So, we have: -5+x=0.
Re arranging them ,we get:
-5+x=0
x=5. Thus, the additive inverse is 5.
Hence, the correct answer is option d.
