Three inches of snow fell on Monday and 5 inches fell on Wednesday. Which number is the additive inverse of the amount of snow that fell?
A) −3
B) −8
C) 5
D) 8
well you had x inches of snow in the beginning so after monday it was x+3 after wednesday x+3+5=x+8 so the invers is the value that you use to get back to x so if you now have x+8 than the inverse is -8
