a) (– 8) + _____ = 0
Since we know that, $-a +a =0$. Therefore, the blank space should be + 8.

(b) 13 + _____ = 0
The sum is zero. Therefore it should be additive inverse of 13. $\Rightarrow$ -13( is the answer)

(c) 12 + (– 12) = ____
Since we know that, $-a +a =0$ So, the answer is Zero (0)

(d) (– 4) + ____ = – 12
The integer in blank space should be -8

(e) ____ – 15 = – 10
The integer in blank space should be +5
