Explanation:
For a moment, imagine a number line. If we start at the origin (0), to the left it is negative and to the right it is positive. So, if I am 5 units negative (left) and I add 5 units (right), that places me at 0. This example is mathematically called Additive Inverse, which, when -A+A= 0. Hope that helped.
