To find the additive inverse of a number, you simply change its sign.
The additive inverse of −2445 is 2445, and the additive inverse of −6710 is 6710.
Therefore, the sum of −2445 and −6710 is -2445 + (-6710) = -2445 - 6710 = -9155.
So the correct answer is −9155.
To find the sum of −2445 and −6710 using the additive inverse, you need to find the additive inverse of each number and then add them together.
The additive inverse of −2445 is 2445, and the additive inverse of −6710 is 6710.
Now, add the two additive inverses together:
2445 + 6710 = 9155
Therefore, the sum of −2445 and −6710 using the additive inverse is −9155.
