 Hint- Make use of the definition of additive inverse and by taking an example solve this.

Complete step by step answer:
Additive inverse is the element, by adding the inverse to that element we will get the additive identity.
For example, for integers 0 is the additive identity.
Now for any integer a, -1 is the additive inverse of a.
As a+ (-a) = (-a) +a=0

Note: Additive inverse can also be defined as a set of real numbers that when added to a given number will yield zero.
