any opposite numbers cancell

Example

+ 2 - 2 = 0

- 3 + 3 = 0

2x - 2x = 0

ab - ab = 0

1/2 - 1/2 =0

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

a Positive 12 minus a negative 12 equals zero

+ 12 - 12 = 0

They cancell, because the are opposite

12 and -12 are the additive inverses of each other since they add up to zero, as you have demonstrated.
