The "additive inverse" is essentially the negative value. It changes the number in the opposite direction on a number line. If you add a number to a value, and then add its inverse, you will have the same original value.
Example: 2 + 3 = 5 , then 5 + (-3) = 2

The "multiplicative inverse" is the reciprocal of a number (i.e. for x, it is 1/x )
Dividing by a number (especially a fraction) can be done by multiplying its inverse.
Examples:
The division 6 divided by 2 = 3 is the same as 6 times its inverse (1/2), also 3.
The division 9 divided by 3/4 is the same as 9 x 4/3 = 36/3 = 12
