Answer:
The correct answers are A. The opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself and C. A non-zero number and its opposite are located on opposite sides of zero on a number line.
Step-by-step explanation:
A: The opposite of 7 is -7, the opposite of that opposite is 7. The same number you started with.
B: This is incorrect because when you have a negative number, its' opposite is positive. To make this correct, we could say "The opposite of a positive number is always a negative number".
C: Zero is the only number that does not have an opposite. Therefore, any number that isn't zero has an opposite. -7 would be on the left of zero, while 7 would be to the right of zero.
D: Dividing a number by one gives you a fraction of the initial number, therefore this is also incorrect. To make this correct, we could say, "The opposite of a number is -1 multiplied by that number".
