Which of the following statements shows the inverse property of addition? a) a + (-a) = 0. b) a + 0 = a. c) 1a = a. d) a + a = 2a

In mathematics, addition and subtraction are inverse properties.

Therefore, any number can be equal to zero if the same number is subtracted.

We have then:

a - a = 0

We can write this subtraction as the sum of two numbers by using the inverse property of the sum.

We have then:

a + (-a) = 0

The following statement shows the inverse property of addition:

A) a + (-a)
