Definitions for "Inverse operations"
Operations that counteract each other. For example, addition and subtraction are inverse operations.
Two opposite operations, such as addition and subtraction.
operations that, when they are combined, leave the entity on which they operate unchanged: for example, addition and subtraction are inverse operations, e.g. 5 + 6 - 6 = 5; multiplication and division are inverse operations, e.g. 6 × 10 ÷ 10 = 6.
