The inflation hypothesis claims that the net energy of the universe would be zero, and one explanation can be found here: http://www.astrosociety.org/pubs/mercury/31_02/nothing.html

An excerpt relevant to your question:
"In the inflationary theory, matter, antimatter, and photons were produced by the energy of the false vacuum, which was released following the phase transition. All of these particles consist of positive energy. This energy, however, is exactly balanced by the negative gravitational energy of everything pulling on everything else. In other words, the total energy of the universe is zero!"

However, note that this is merely a hypothesis, and we currently have no "answer" to the net energy amount of the universe.

It could very well be. There is conjecture that the mass (positive energy) and gravity (negative energy) when summed up equal to zero which would mean that the big bang could have been a quantum fluctuation from a zero energy state. The universe could be a free lunch.

no. the sum would be 1. zero is the place holder for nothing. if you believe in the big bang theory, it all started as one mass of energy that spread out over nothing. so you could kind of think of the universe as one divided by zero. i know it means undefined, which is kind of like saying there's no equation that tells the future.
