why did the chicken add its opposite to itself

To understand the joke, we need to unravel the play on words in the punchline. The phrase "other side" typically refers to crossing over to a different place or reaching a destination. In this context, the joke is a pun. It juxtaposes the idea of crossing the road (as the chicken is often associated with) with the mathematical concept of adding an opposite.

Now, when it comes to adding an opposite in mathematics, we can consider the concept of additive inverses. An additive inverse, or opposite, is a number that, when added to another number, yields a sum of zero. For example, the additive inverse of 5 is -5, and when you add them together (5 + (-5) = 0).

In the case of the joke, the chicken adds its opposite to itself, implying that it is trying to reach a sum of zero. However, the punchline cuts off, leaving the answer incomplete. The actual punchline of the joke is "To get to the other side of the equation," playing on the double meaning of "other side": one being the punchline of a joke, and the other referring to the other side of an equation in mathematics.
