Since addition is commutative, -20 + 8 is the same as 8 + -20.
8 + -20 is the same as 8 - 20.
8 - 20 will give you the opposite number of 20 - 8.
We can calculate the area by taking out the product of the length and the breadth of the house
Taking caffeine with the decongestant phenylpropanolamine can raise blood pressure.
Finding the square root of it. Taking the square root. Not squaring it.
Opposites in language or nature display traits that have reverse appearances. For example, clockwise is the opposite rotational direction of counterclockwise, hairy is the opposite of hairless, and rough is the opposite of smooth.In mathematics, an additive opposite has the same absolute value but the opposite sign (positive or negative). The opposite of squaring a number is taking the square root. In each case, performing the opposite or inverse operation will restore the original value.
the result of throwing a dice and the result of taking a card from a deck at the same time
They are the result of combining shapes, either by adding parts or taking parts away. We calculate the perimeter of composite shapes by splitting them into simpler pieces and then calculating the perimeter of those simpler pieces.
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).
Taking the square root is the opposite of squaring.
Taking is the opposite of giving
The opposite role for take is give.However, the opposite of taking something could also be to leave it.
Calculating gross margin is done by taking the price of the good being sold and taking away the cost of the goods being sold. This, however, is normally given as a percentage so it is the Price of the good minus the cost of the goods, divide this by the price of the goods and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage margin.
You take their algebraic sum - that is, their sum taking account of the direction. All forces acting in one direction are considered to be positive while those acting in the opposite direction are all negative.
The opposite of being ahead of time would be running behind or late. The opposite of taking an action ahead of time is taking the action "after the fact" or later.
The opposite of caution (taking care) could be carelessness or recklessness.

Taking language to mean meaningful communication the opposite would be gibberish.
