The Inverse Property states:

In Addition:
x + (-x) = 0

In Multiplication:
y x (¹/_y) = 1

The same real number, both positive (+) and negative (-), added together will equal 0.	The same real number, both as numerator (whole) and denominator (fraction), multiplied together will equal 1.
5 + (-5) = 0	7 x (¹/₇) = 1
8 + (-8) = 0	12 x (¹/₁₂) = 1
3 + (-3) = 0	5 x (¹/₅) = 1
