Explain the answer in terms of the appropriate property of real numbers or definition.A person hikes m miles west and then m miles east. How far does the person wind up from their original starting point?

What will be an ideal response?


Using the additive inverse property, m + (-m) = 0. So, the person is 0 miles from their original starting point.
