To find the additive inverse, we need to change the sign of the given number.
The additive inverse of a number "x" is '-x', which means "x" with the opposite sign.
Therefore, the additive inverse of -492.89 is 492.89, and the additive inverse of -871.78 is 871.78.
Now, we can rewrite the expression as 492.89 + 871.78:
492.89 + 871.78 = 1,364.67.
Therefore, -492.89 - (871.78) is equal to 1,364.67.
