How can Emily use an additive inverse to find this amount? A. Emily can add 48 + 12 + 44 to find her total expenses. The additive inverse of this number is the amount Emily must withdraw each month. B. Emily can subtract 48 - 12 - 44 to find her total expenses. The additive inverse of this number is the amount Emily must deposit each month. C. Emily can subtract - 48 - (-12) - (-44) to find her total expenses. The additive inverse of this number is the amount Emily must deposit each month. D. Emily can add (-48) + (-12) + (-44) to find her total expenses. The additive inverse of this number is the amount Emily must deposit each month.

As you know that Additive inverse of any number

A = - A, For example additive inverse of 2 is - 2

or additive inverse of (-2) is 2.

Now, According to the question given

Emily has fixed monthly expenses that are taken directly out of her bank account.

As she wants to know, how much money she must deposit in her account each month to cover these expenses.

So, Expenses are Additive inverse of Deposit or Deposit are additive inverse of Expenses.

Out of the given Options Option D which is, Emily can add (-48) + (-12) + (-44) to find her total expenses. The additive inverse of this number is the amount Emily must deposit each month. is correct.
