Additive Inverse Property
Let n be a number.
n + (- n) = - n + n = 0
This also work for terms.
Say we have x + 9.
Then x + 9 + (-x - 9) = x + 9 - x - 9 = 0.
You say?
Multiplicative Inverse Property
Say n = a number.
Then n • (1/n) = (1/n) • n = 1.
Can we Say that this works if n does not = 0?
The multiplicative inverse (1/n) of a nonzero real number n is also referred to as the reciprocal of n.
Does this also apply to terms?
For example, Say we have 1/(x + 3). I can say the reciprocal is x + 3.
This is true, right? For 1/(x + 3), the denominator cannot be 0.
Yes?

All correct.
One axiom in number theory is that 1/n cannot be evaluated whenever n = 0
If n is replaced by x + 3 then x + 3 cannot be zero.

Very cool. I once saw a video clip where Dr. Michio Kaku stated that sooner or later division by zero will become a reality. Do you agree? He said that space aliens have secretly proven that division by zero is possible where they come from.
