Answer 1

To find the value of \(-2445 - 6710\) using the additive inverse, we first rewrite the expression as:

\(-2445 + (-6710)\).

Now, we can add the two negative numbers:

1. Add \(-2445\) and \(-6710\): \(-2445 - 6710 = -2445 + (-6710) = -(2445 + 6710)\).

2. Now, calculate \(2445 + 6710\): \[ 2445 + 6710 = 9155 \]

3. Therefore, \[ -2445 - 6710 = -9155 \]

Now, let's compare this result with the options provided:

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

None of these options match \(-9155\), but it seems there might have been a misunderstanding in the answers expected. Please clarify or double-check the problem and given responses.
