Inverse Operations
Addition is the opposite or inverse of subtraction.
Subtraction is the opposite or inverse of addition.
When working with equations we can solve for a given variable by using inverse or opposite math operations of numbers to get the variable alone..

Inverse Operations
Similar to Fact Families You learned in elementary school for addition and subtraction
If 6 plus 4 equals 10 then 10 subtract 4 equals 6
If 28 minus 10 equals 18 then 18 increased by 10 equals 28
Inverse operation or opposite operation are new words but are simply fact families you already know from elementary school.
7
Inverse Operations
Similar to Fact Families You learned in elementary school for multiplication and division
If 7 times 3 equals 21 then 21 divided by 3 equals 7
If 50 divided by 10 equals 5 then 5 multiplied by 10 equals 50
Inverse operation or opposite operation are new words but are simply fact families you already know from elementary school.
