- Snippet from Wikipedia: Additive inverse
In mathematics, the additive inverse of an element x, denoted −x, is the element that when added to x, yields the additive identity, 0 (zero). In the most familiar cases, this is the number 0, but it can also refer to a more generalized zero element.
In elementary mathematics, the additive inverse is often referred to as the opposite number, or its negative. The unary operation of arithmetic negation is closely related to subtraction and is important in solving algebraic equations. Not all sets where addition is defined have an additive inverse, such as the natural numbers.
