Original question and givens

What is the additive opposite of 12?

  • G001 — What is the additive opposite of 12?

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [qf-integer-opposite, no-required-operation, no-required-domain, []]

After

derived = [[opposite_NUMBER]]

Conditions: none

Legacy banks enforce their exact source keys/operation/domain.BASE integers retain metadata without treating it as an oracle.Distinguish NUMBER,string,fraction pair and vector equality formats;retain original bilingual data/AST/status.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: R64_SOURCE_exact_legacy_interface_BASE_metadata_AND_output_roles · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

Integer opposite ORIGINAL zero minus n := sub(0, 12)

After

Integer opposite ORIGINAL zero minus n = -12

Conditions: none

Use ORIGINAL operands/order for exact integer/rational arithmetic.RAW bounds are bank-specific;derived values are not SAFE-recapped or approximated.Do not import legacy caps into BASE integers.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

Integer opposite reverse ORIGINAL n plus opposite := sum(12, -12)

After

Integer opposite reverse ORIGINAL n plus opposite = 0

Conditions: none

Use ORIGINAL operands/order for exact integer/rational arithmetic.RAW bounds are bank-specific;derived values are not SAFE-recapped or approximated.Do not import legacy caps into BASE integers.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

source roles = [12, -12]

After

derived = [-12, 0]

Conditions: none

Compute0−n,then add it to ORIGINAL n to verify0;also verify the supplied opposite.Zero has opposite0.This is neither reciprocal nor absolute value;retain the original NUMBER answer type.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Integer_OPPOSITE_given_verified_additive_inverse_NUMBER_not_abs_reciprocal · Uses: G001, S003

Reverse checks

  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check ORIGINAL data,field roles,types,domain and premises;the conclusion need not uniquely recover its premises.Keep source-bound candidates,independent review,formal proof and publication separate.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Integer opposite reverse ORIGINAL n plus opposite with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Integer opposite ORIGINAL zero minus n with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check ORIGINAL data,field roles,types,domain and premises;the conclusion need not uniquely recover its premises.Keep source-bound candidates,independent review,formal proof and publication separate.

Result

-12

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
