Question 1045722

if a number is {{{x}}} and its opposite is {{{-x}}}

if {{{x}}} is {{{96}}} greater than {{{-x}}}, we have

{{{x=-x+96 }}}............solve for {{{x}}}

{{{x+x=96 }}}

{{{2x=96 }}}
 
{{{x=96/2}}}

{{{x=48}}}

so, a number is {{{48}}} and its opposite is {{{-48}}}

on number line, the distance from {{{-48}}} to {{{48}}} is {{{96}}} units
