To find the sum \( -2445 - 6710 \) using the additive inverse, we can rewrite the expression.

The additive inverse of a number \( a \) is \( -a \). So, to find \( -2445 - 6710 \), we can think of this as:

\[ -2445 - 6710 = - (2445 + 6710) \]

Now, calculate \( 2445 + 6710 \):

\[ 2445 + 6710 = 9155 \]

Now apply the negative:

\[

  • (2445 + 6710) = -9155 \]

However, since we need to match this to one of the provided options, it looks like the answer options were misinterpreted or listed differently.

The correct answer would be:

\[ -9155 \]

Based on the responses provided, none directly match, but the closest is:

−31110, which is -31 and 1/10, likely if it's interpreted differently.

So if we stick closely to simple addition without conversion, the answer is \( -9155 \), which is not represented in your options correctly, but logically derived is correct. Please check the original options again per context.
