Additive Inverse Property (Part 1)

The video tutorial explains the concept of opposite numbers, which are equidistant from zero on a number line but on opposite sides. It introduces the additive inverse property, stating that the sum of a number and its opposite equals zero. The tutorial provides examples, such as -3 and 3, and demonstrates solving equations using additive inverses. It also includes an example with fractions, showing how -5.5 and 5.5 sum to zero.
