Rewrite 4 − 5 using the additive inverse and display the new expression on a number line. 4 + 5 A horizontal number line is shown with labels from 0 to 16. A blue arrow begins at 0 and ends at 4. Another blue arrow begins at 4 and ends at 9. 4 − (−5) A horizontal number line is shown with labels from 0 to 16. A blue arrow begins at 0 and ends at 4. Another blue arrow begins at 4 and ends at 9. 5 − 4 A horizontal number line is shown with labels from negative 8 to positive 8. A blue arrow begins at 0 and ends at 5. A red arrow begins at 5 and ends at 1. 4 + (−5) A horizontal number line is shown with labels from negative 8 to positive 8. A blue arrow begins at 0 and goes to 4. A red arrow begins at 4 and goes to negative 1.

@DanJS

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

what do you think is the answer?

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

do you know what an additive inverse is ?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

yes and my mistake its b

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

@acxbox22

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

no an additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to a, yields zero. for example 3's additive inverse would be -3 you are adding the additive inverse

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

so @acxbox22 is a the answer

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

@DanJS

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

4-5 using additive inverse we know the additive inverse of 5 is -5 and we are adding so combine 4 and -5 by adding what is the answer now?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

d

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

@acxbox22 i got d

OpenStudy (acxbox22):
