The additive inverse of a number is the opposite of that number. To find the additive inverse of −856, we change the sign of the number to positive, giving us 856.

Now, we can rewrite the expression as −1223 + 856.

When we subtract 856 from -1223, we get -1223 + 856 = -367.

Therefore, the answer is -367, which can also be written as a mixed number as -366 1/3 (where 1/3 is the fraction part of the mixed number).
