Find the additive inverse of: $$\cfrac3{14}$$

Solution

Additive inverse of a number is a number when added to original number yields result $$0$$.
So, let's assume additive inverse of $$\cfrac{3}{14}$$ is $$x$$
So, according to definition of additive inverse
$$\cfrac{3}{14}+x=0$$
$$\therefore x=-\cfrac{3}{14}$$
$$\therefore $$ Additive inverse of $$\cfrac{3}{14}$$ is $$-\cfrac{3}{14}$$
