The additive inverse of a number is the number that when added to the original number, gives a sum of zero.
To find the additive inverse of a number, we simply change the sign of the number.
So the additive inverse of 8.76 is -8.76 and the additive inverse of 26.54 is -26.54.
To find 8.76 - 26.54 using the additive inverse, we can rewrite this expression as 8.76 + (-26.54).
Now we can add these numbers together:
8.76 + (-26.54) = -17.78
Therefore, 8.76 - 26.54 is equal to -17.78.
To find the solution to 8.76 - 26.54 using the additive inverse, we simply find the additive inverse of 26.54.
The additive inverse of any number is the number that will add up to zero when added to it. In other words, the additive inverse of a number x is -x.
So, the additive inverse of 26.54 is -26.54.
Now, to find 8.76 - 26.54, we can rewrite it as 8.76 + (-26.54).
Adding these two numbers, we get:
8.76 + (-26.54) = -17.78
Therefore, 8.76 - 26.54 = -17.78.
