still on here eh? you are a legend indeed.
Bro that’s not the same Frank bro
Of course! I'd be happy to help you with your final two questions. Let's tackle them one at a time:
1. What is the additive inverse of 38?
The additive inverse of a number is the number that, when added to the original number, gives you a sum of zero. In other words, if you have a number "x," its additive inverse is "-x."
To find the additive inverse of 38, you simply change its sign. So, the additive inverse of 38 is -38.
Therefore, the correct answer is A - (-38).
2. Which property is shown by -6 + 0 = -6?
To determine the property being shown, we need to understand the different properties of addition:
- The commutative property of addition states that changing the order of the numbers being added does not affect the sum. For example, a + b = b + a. Since the order of the numbers is not being changed in the given equation, this is not the property being shown.
- The identity property of addition states that adding zero to any number does not change the value of that number. For example, a + 0 = a. In the given equation, we are adding 0 to -6, and the result is still -6, which follows the identity property of addition.
Therefore, the correct answer is B - identity property of addition.
I hope that helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
