give me an example of inverse operations

3 answers

An example of inverse operations is addition and subtraction.

For instance, if we have the equation 4 + 7 = 11, we can use the inverse operation of subtraction to undo the addition.

By subtracting 7 from both sides of the equation, we get 4 = 11 - 7.

Therefore, the inverse operation of addition (subtraction) allows us to undo the addition operation and return to the original value.
shorten this a bit
Addition and subtraction are inverse operations. For example, in the equation 4 + 7 = 11, we can use subtraction as the inverse operation to undo the addition. Subtracting 7 from both sides gives us 4 = 11 - 7. Inverse operations allow us to reverse the effect of an operation and return to the original value.
