A pair of additive inverses.
If the word "additive" is not used, there is no way of differentiating from multiplicative inverses: x and 1/x which multiply to 1.
Because if the number is already negative and you take away more it will be even farther away from being positive. I hope that makes sense!
yes if u take a negative from a positve you will get a negative

Adding negatives is exactly the same as taking away the positive number. Alternatively you can think of it as "imagine both the numbers are positive, add them together. This number is then negative. And you're done".
If you are talking about absolute value, then the answer to your question would be 4, 2, and 1. Absolute value means distance away from zero. The answer will always be positive since you can't have a negative distance. I hope that helped!
The absolute value of a number is the distance it is away from zero or in other words, the number will become positive, but if it is already positive, will remain the same.
Yes if the number you are taking away is positive, it will always be a negative number answer. If the number you are taking away is also negative the answer could be either positive or negative, dependant upon the number's used.
You have to take the negative sign away from the negative number and add them.

Taking away a negative number is the same as adding the positive value of that number. So 5 take away (-3) = 5 add 3 = 8

The result of subtracting a negative number minus a negative number can be positive, or negative, depending on which of the numbers is larger. It can even be zero.
The absolute value is the distance from 0 on the number line. -5 is 5 away from 0. You cannot have a negative distance, therefore you cannot have a negative absolute value. Absolute values are not ALWAYS positive because absolute values can be zero as well. Zero is not positive nor negative.
It depends on the numbers. 4-5= negative 1 5-4= 1 if the number you are taking away is greater than the number being taken from then the answer will be negative.
yes. This is because absolute value is in which you find how far away a number is from zero. This means that the absolute value is always positive.
The absolute value of a number is how far away it is from zero on a number line. Any negative number that is higher than a positive number without its negative sign is larger with absolute value.
In this case, it would depend on how high thepositive number is. for example: negative 10 plus positive 12 would equal positive 2 because the ten negative numbers would cancel out ten of the positive twelve numbers. So the answer would be a positive number but ONLY IF you could take the sign away from the number and the positive number was higher.
