Understanding Opposite Numbers: step 1: Understand the concept of "opposite" in terms of numbers.The opposite of a number is defined as the number that, when added to the original number, yields zero. This is also known as the additive inverse.
Applying the Concept to 0: step 2: Apply the concept to the number 0.Since 0 is the neutral element in addition (meaning any number added to 0 gives the number itself), the opposite of 0 must be a number that, when added to 0, results in 0.
Determining the Opposite of 0: step 3: Determine the opposite of 0. The only number that, when added to 0, gives 0 is 0 itself. Therefore, the opposite of 0 is 0.
