Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Understand the concept of additive inverse.

    The additive inverse of a number is the number that, when added to the original number, results in zero. For any number aa, its additive inverse is −a-a.

  2. Evaluate the absolute value expressions.

    • For ∣−8∣|-8|: The absolute value of −8-8 is 8.
    • For ∣−1∣|-1|: The absolute value of −1-1 is 1.
  3. List the numbers after evaluating absolute values.

    The numbers are now $11, 10, 8, 1$.

  4. Find the additive inverse for each number.

    • For 11: The additive inverse is −11-11.
    • For 10: The additive inverse is −10-10.
    • For 8: The additive inverse is −8-8.
    • For 1: The additive inverse is −1-1.

    The additive inverses are:
    For 11: -11\boxed{\text{-11}}
    For 10: -10\boxed{\text{-10}}
    For ∣−8∣|-8| (which is 8): -8\boxed{\text{-8}}
    For ∣−1∣|-1| (which is 1): -1\boxed{\text{-1}}
