Yes it is true that the additive inverse of the expression (2a + b) is (- 2a - b) where a and b are real numbers. This expression (- 2a - b) can also be written as [- (2a + b)]. I hope that this is the answer you were looking for and it has come to your help.
we know that
Additive inverse is the number that one would need to add to equal zero
so
If [tex]x+y=0[/tex] -----> equation A
then
x and y are additive inverse
In this problem we have
[tex]x=(2a+b)[/tex]
Find the value of y
Substitute the value of x in the equation A
[tex](2a+b)+y=0[/tex]
Subtract both sides [tex]-(2a+b)[/tex]
[tex](2a+b)+y-(2a+b)=0-(2a+b)[/tex]
[tex]y=-(2a+b)[/tex]
therefore
the answer is
The additive inverse is [tex]-(2a+b)[/tex]
