Question

select the two correct answers.
jorge has $10.
which situations apply the additive inverse for jorges $10?
jorge is gifted a $5 gift card.
jorge spends $10 on school supplies.
jorge gives his sister $10.
jorge finds a $10 bill on the ground near his school.
jorge purchases a $5 lunch special from a food cart.
jorge donates $0.10 to a charity.

Explanation:

Step1: Define additive inverse

The additive inverse of a number $x$ is $-x$, such that $x + (-x) = 0$. For Jorge's $10, this means a situation where the $10 is entirely canceled out.

Step2: Evaluate each option

• Gifted $5: $10 + 5 = 15$, no inverse.
• Spends $10: $10 - 10 = 0$, uses inverse.
• Gives sister $10: $10 - 10 = 0$, uses inverse.
• Finds $10: $10 + 10 = 20$, no inverse.
• Purchases $5 lunch: $10 - 5 = 5$, no full inverse.
• Donates $0.10: $10 - 0.10 = 9.90$, no full inverse.

Answer:

B. Jorge spends $10 on school supplies.
C. Jorge gives his sister $10.
