To rewrite the expression \( 16 - 7 + 22 - 12 \) using the additive inverse, we can express the subtractions as additions of negative numbers.
This means we can rewrite:
- \( 16 \) as \( 16 \)
- \( -7 \) as \( + (-7) \)
- \( 22 \) as \( 22 \)
- \( -12 \) as \( + (-12) \)
Combining these, the expression becomes:
\[ 16 + (-7) + 22 + (-12) \]
Thus, the correct response is:
16 + (–7) + 22 + (–12)
