What is an inverse number?
An inverse number is an opposing number of the standard number. For example, if a standard number is 12 then the inverse is -12.
What does the word inverse mean in math terms?
Mathematically, an inverse is an opposite, it is something that reverses what its inverse does, for example, addition and subtraction are inverse functions, as are multiplication and division. The inverse of a fraction is obtained by exchanging numerator and denominator; the inverse of a half is two.
Is this an example of direct or inverse proportion?

What are inverse operations?
An "inverse operation" is an operation that is in a certain way the "opposite" of another operation. For example, subtraction is the inverse of addition, division is the inverse of multiplication.

With a light switch, for example: switch off = Inverse of (switch on)
What is the inverse of addition?
The inverse operation of addition would be subtraction. Example : 2 + 3 = 5 Performing the inverse operation yields the original number. Example : 5 - 3 = 2
