The additive inverse of -6710 is 6710. Therefore,
−2445−6710 = -2445 + (-6710) = -2445 + (-6710) = -2445 - 6710 = -9155
Well, that's quite a long subtraction problem! Let's use the additive inverse to make it a little more fun. The additive inverse of a number simply means we flip the sign. So, the additive inverse of -2445 is 2445, and the additive inverse of -6710 is 6710. Now, we can just add these numbers together in a fun way. So, -2445 plus -6710 gives us -9155. Ta-da!
To find the sum of -2445 and -6710 using the additive inverse, you need to add the positive versions of the two numbers.
First, find the additive inverse of both -2445 and -6710 by changing the sign of each number.
The additive inverse of -2445 is 2445, and the additive inverse of -6710 is 6710.
Now, add the two positive numbers together:
2445 + 6710 = 9155.
Therefore, the sum of -2445 and -6710 is positive 9155 or simply 9155.
To find the sum of two numbers using the additive inverse, you need to take the opposite (or negative) of the second number and then add it to the first number.
In this case, you want to find -2445 - 6710.
The additive inverse of a number is its negative. The additive inverse of 6710 is -6710.
Now, you can add -6710 to -2445:
-2445 + (-6710) = -9155
Therefore, the sum of -2445 and -6710 is -9155.
So, the correct answer is -9155.
