What are the two sets of inverse operations?
Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction and multiplication is the inverse operation of division. The word inverse means "opposite".
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.
What is an inverese in algebra?
An inverse is another word for opposite. The inverse for adding is subtraction, multiplication is division, etc. If you are solving an equation, and have to get a variable alone, you must eliminate any other numbers with the variable, which means undoing the operation (x, +, -, /); so you perform the inverse. Example: x + 3 = 9. Subtract 3 on both sides to get x alone, because subtraction is the inverse of addition: x = 6. Example: 2x + 3 = 9. You must do the inverse of addition and subtraction before the inverse of multiplication and division. In this case, after subtracting 3 you have: 2x = 6. x is being multiplied by 2, so the inverse is division, and your answer is x = 3.
Is distributive property a multiplication or division word?

Why is important to divide numbers?
because you must, in order to do the inverse operation of multiplication you must perform division. division makes the numbers smaller which is very important in certain equations and word problems.

What is inverse in math terms?
In maths, the term there are two main meanings to the word inverse - both of which are very closely related. Simple answer in the last three paragraphs. A binary operation, defined on a group of numbers is a rule that tells you how to combine two numbers to get a third. Each binary operations (@) has an identity element, generally denoted by i, such that: x@i = x = i@x for all x in the group. Then, for each element x, there is an element in the group, denoted by x-1 (or the inverse of x) such that x@x-1 = i = x-1@x All this may sound rather technical. So here it is in simpler terms: two everyday examples of binary operation are addition and multiplication. The identity for addition is 0. The identity for multiplication is 1. The inverse of x, under addition, is -x. Under multiplication it is 1/x (not defined for x = 0). These give rise to inverse binary operations: subtraction for addition and division for multiplication.

Does the word quotient indicate addition subtraction division or multiplication?
It indicates Division

What is the key word in multiplication or a division word problem called?
One possibility is the "answer".
Is quotient a division word or a multiplication word?
It is a division word. The quotient is the result you get when you divide a number (dividend) by another number (divisor).
