To solve the expression \(6 + (-6)\) using the inverse property:
The inverse property states that a number plus its additive inverse (the opposite of that number) equals zero.
In this case, \(6\) and \(-6\) are additive inverses of each other.
So we have:
\[
6 + (-6) = 0
\]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
**C. 0**
