Question

The addictive inverse of 12 is 12 because they both have an absolute value of 12 true or false

Answer 1

False. In the context of additive inverses, the additive inverse of a number \( x \) is the number that, when added to \( x \), yields zero. For the number 12, its additive inverse is -12, because \( 12 + (-12) = 0 \). The statement that the additive inverse of 12 is 12 itself is incorrect.
