Understanding Additive Inverse

The video tutorial explains the concept of the additive inverse property, which states that adding a number to its negative results in zero. Using a number line, the tutorial demonstrates how moving left or right by the same magnitude but in opposite directions cancels out the number. Examples include adding negative 5 to 5 and positive 3 to negative 3. The tutorial generalizes this concept to any number, illustrating that adding the negative of a number results in zero.
