Answer 1

To find \( -2445 - 6710 \) using the additive inverse, we can rewrite the expression as follows:

1. The additive inverse of a number \( x \) is \( -x \).
2. Thus, \( -2445 - 6710 \) can be represented as \( -2445 + (-6710) \).

Now we can combine the two negative numbers:

\[
-2445 - 6710 = -(2445 + 6710)
\]

Next, we calculate \( 2445 + 6710 \):

\[
2445 + 6710 = 9155
\]

So, we have:

\[
-2445 - 6710 = -9155
\]

In the response options given, we need to ensure we interpret the negative sign correctly. We need to find:

\[
-9155
\]

However, it looks like there was a misunderstanding with the choices provided.

Therefore, the answer is:

\[
-9155
\]

But upon reviewing the available response options:

- \( -31110 \)
- \( -3112 \)
- \( -18110 \)
- \( 3112 \)

None of them match, indicating a potential error in the problem statement or the provided choices. However, the correct calculation yields \( -9155 \). If you do mean to confirm one of the given options, please clarify the intent or context.
