State

The inverse property of addition says a + (−a) = 0; the inverse property of multiplication says a · (1/a) = 1 for nonzero a.

Show

6 + (−6) returns the additive identity, 0; 6 · (1/6) returns the multiplicative identity, 1.

Watch for

Zero has no multiplicative inverse.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
