Answer 5

Not really, we just add a number to its negative.

9 + -9

5 + -5

6 + -6

Answer 6

Which option shows that?

Answer 7

i dont get it . :/

Answer 8

i mean by what i see it would have to be 9 + -9

Answer 9

No, what you see would be any number adding its negative to itself and it equals zero.

Answer 10

So my understanding would be D. -3 + 3= 0 since you said they would equal out to zero.

Answer 11

Yep, you got it.

Answer 12
