To solve \(-2445 - 6710\) using the additive inverse, we rewrite the expression by changing the subtraction into addition with a negative:

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

Next, we add the numbers:

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

Now we sum \(2445\) and \(6710\):

\[ 2445 + 6710 = 9155 \]

Thus,

\[ -2445 - 6710 = -9155 \]

Looking at the options provided:

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

None of the options match the result \(-9155\). Please check the original problem or provide more context or numbers.
