Question

Does every positive number have a matching negative number?

Answer 1

Yes, every positive number has a matching negative number. In mathematics, for any positive number \( x \), its matching negative number is \( -x \). For example, if \( x = 5 \), then \( -x = -5 \) is the matching negative number. This concept applies to all positive numbers, meaning that there's a corresponding negative number for each one.
