no, the absolute value does not change the subtraction into addition. it does however, change the difference to positive ( if the difference is negative)

What operation is the inverse operation of addition?

The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. Subtraction undoes addition by taking away a number from the sum to return to the original value.


Can you reverse the numbers inside an absolute value symbol?

The answer depends on the operation. The absolute value of 2/3 is not the same as the absolute value of 3/2! It does work for subtraction, though.


Which operation of arithmetic is the inverse of addition?

Subtraction is the inverse operation of addition. Adding a number and then subtracting the same number will bring you back to the original value.


Positive and negative what is the final result?

It depends on the operation and values of the positive and negative. For example, in multiplication or division a positive and negative will be a negative. In addition or subtraction, it depends on the absolute value of the original numbers.

What is commutative property of subtraction?

Commutative means things can move or commute. For example A+B=B+A But A-B does NOT equal B-A. The example A+B=B+A is an example of the commutative property of addition. More formally: An operation is commutative if you can change the order of the numbers involved without changing the result. Subtraction does NOT have a commutative property because you cannot change the order. Here is one last concrete example. 5-4=1 and 4-5 =-1 If you know about absolute value, then you might know that |5-4|=|4-5|=1 and in general |a-b|=|b-a|, but this does not mean that subtraction commutes.


How do you find eh absolute value of a fraction?

If the fraction is already positive, then it is also the absolute value. If the fraction is negative, just change the sign and it becomes the absolute value. Absolute value means the magnitude (value) of the fraction without any sign attribute.


What is inverse operation?

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.
