Explanation: Factually, zero is the rational number that is equal to its negative.
We can also deduce it as follows:
Let x be that rational number that is equal to its negative
This means that,
x= -x
and, x + x= 0
or, 2x= 0
Therefore, x= 0
This way we’ve proved that zero is that rational number which is equal to its negative.
