Inverse Operation • MA.7.1.3: • By , • Period 1
Inverse Operation An Inverse operation ‘reverses’ another operation. Addition and subtracting are inverses of each other. Because Adding and subtracting the same number does not change the original number.
EXAMPLE X + 8 = 11 - 8 = -8 X = 3
Problem • Solve for x • x+2 =8
Solution! 8 - 2 = 6 subtract 8 by 2 =6 X + 2 = 8 - 2-2 X=6 Check: 6 + 2 =8
