1 answer

To determine what number must be added to reach zero when starting with the provided numbers, we can consider each number individually:

  1. For -4:
    To reach zero, you would need to add 4: \[ -4 + 4 = 0 \]

  2. For 4:
    To reach zero, you would need to add -4: \[ 4 + (-4) = 0 \]

  3. For -10:
    To reach zero, you would need to add 10: \[ -10 + 10 = 0 \]

  4. For 10:
    To reach zero, you would need to add -10: \[ 10 + (-10) = 0 \]

Thus, the numbers that must be added to reach zero for each of the given values are:

  • For -4, add 4
  • For 4, add -4
  • For -10, add 10
  • For 10, add -10
