'''Opposite number''' or '''additive inverse''' of any [[number]] (n) is a number which, if [[addition|added]] to ''n'', results in 0, the [[identity element]] of addition. The opposite number for ''n'' is written as ''−n''. For example, −7 is opposite to 7, because with <math>-\!7 + 7 = 0</math>. You can say that the opposite number of a number, is the [[negative number|negative]] version of the [[positive]] number. This is what the opposite of 7 is or the opposite of -7.<br />
