You just subtract 23 (do the opposite operation to the same number).
-23
6
Using the inverse operation is probably the most clumsy way of obtaining the answer.To add 23 to some known number x, you would be required to find the number y such that subtracting 23 from y (the inverse operation) would result in x. Why on earth would you do that?
An inverse operation is when you do the opisite in math. For example when you subtract the inverse operation is to add.
Add 24.
Add 20.
Square root is the inverse operation of a square.

It is a second operation that "undoes" the first.For example, the inverse of "add 2" is "subtract 2";the inverse of "divide by 7" is "multiply by 7";the inverse of "take the reciprocal" is "take the reciprocal".
The inverse operation for subtract 5 is add 5. This is because whatever number you start with, if you first "subtract 5" and then "add 5" or if you first "add 5" and then "subtract 5" you are back to the number you started with.
subtract negative 6 or +6
An inverse operation reverses an affect of another operation. Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction. So are multiplication and subtraction.
y = n - 8 In this case you start with n and then subtract 8. For the inverse operation you start at the end and replace each operation by its inverse. So "subtract 8" is replaced by "add 8". That is it. n = y + 8
It is called the "inverse" operation. (*The term inverse is specifically used for multiplication and division, where the inverse of x is 1/x.) Inverse operations: addition / subtraction multiplication/ division square / square root cube / cube root
