The situation that describes opposite quantities that when combined would equal 0 is:

A family rides their bikes four miles due east from home. Then, they ride their bikes four miles due west. How far is the family from home?

In this case, the movement east and west are opposite directions, and the total distance traveled in one direction cancels out the distance traveled in the other direction, resulting in a net distance of 0 from their starting point (home).
