# Additive inverse property
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Let $a$ represent any member of $\mathbb{Z}$. Then there is a unique member of
|
||
|
|
$\mathbb{Z}$ $-a$ such that:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$$ a + (-a) = 0 $$
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The sum of a number and it's negative (called **the additive inverse**) is
|
||
|
|
always zero.
