Answer 7

Don't you hate that, Joe?

Anyhow, the additive identity is 0. That means that no matter what you start with, if you add 0, you get exactly what you started with.
The additive inverse of something means whatever you add to that thing to get the identity. So whatever number x I have, the additive inverse is -x.
