Subtracting 6.
If the action is multiply the number by 12, the inverse operation is n/12. If the action is multiply 12 by n, the inverse operation is 12/n.
Addition.
3020 is a number, not an operation. A number cannot have an inverse operation.
"opposite" operation. The inverse of subtraction is addition; the inverse operation of multiplication is division.

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?
Addition.
An inverse operation undoes the effect of another operation. For example, addition is the inverse operation of subtraction, and multiplication is the inverse operation of division. Applying an operation and its inverse leaves you with the original value.
The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. Subtraction undoes addition by taking away a number from the sum to return to the original value.
Square root is the inverse operation of a square.

Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction and multiplication is the inverse operation of division. The word inverse means "opposite".
Dividing by twelve is the same thing as multiplying by 1/12. Thus, multiplying a number by 12/1, or twelve, is the opposite (inverse) of dividing a number by twelve.
The inverse or opposite of the operation of multiply is divide. So the inverse operation of multiply by 24 would be to divide by 24 or multiply by the inverse of the number (1/24).
