An inverse operation reverses an affect of another operation. Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction. So are multiplication and subtraction.
An inverse operation (for some operation) is, in a way, the opposite of another operation. For example, subtraction is the opposite of addition (if you add 7, then subtract 7, the subtraction will "undo" the addition - you get the original number back). Similarly, division is the inverse of multiplication, taking a root is the inverse of calculating a power, and the logarithm is also the inverse of calculating a power (the difference being that taking a root finds the unknown base, while taking the logarithm finds the unknown exponent).
Subtraction
An inverse operation is an operation that reverses the effect of the original operation. For example, addition and subtraction are inverse operations. 2 add 5 is 7, subtract 5 is 2. The subtraction of 5 reversed the effect of adding 5. Multiplication and division are also inverse operations. Two functions f and g are inverse if f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x.
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. The inverse multiplication by a number other than 0 is division. Multiplication by 0 does not have an inverse operation.

"opposite" operation. The inverse of subtraction is addition; the inverse operation of multiplication is division.
Subtraction
addition
Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction and multiplication is the inverse operation of division. The word inverse means "opposite".
Addition is the inverse operation to subtraction.
well the inverse operation of subtraction is addition and the inverse of 5 is -5. So it would be +5.
addition
The inverse operation is just the opposite operation, for example addition is the inverse of subtraction, and vice verso
It's the opposite of some sort of operation like the inverse operation of subtraction would be addition.
Subtraction can be seen as the inverse operation to addition.
