Understanding Additive Inverse
An additive inverse of a number is another number that, when added to the original number, results in a sum of zero. In other words, the additive inverse of a number is the negative of that number.

Finding the Additive Inverse of -3
To find the additive inverse of -3, we need to find a number that, when added to -3, gives us a sum of zero.

Calculating the Additive Inverse
-3 + x = 0
x = 3
Therefore, the additive inverse of -3 is 3.

Understanding Additive Inverse of a Product
When we have the product of two numbers, the additive inverse of that product can be found by taking the additive inverses of each individual number and then multiplying them together.

Finding the Additive Inverse of -3 by -8
To find the additive inverse of -3 by -8, we first find the additive inverse of each number separately.
Additive inverse of -3 = 3
Additive inverse of -8 = 8
Now, we multiply the additive inverses of -3 and -8 together:
3 * 8 = 24
Therefore, the additive inverse of -3 by -8 is 24.

Additive inverse of -3/-8 is -3/8.
