An inverse is something that is opposite or contrary in position, direction, order, or effect.

If I have nine things and acquire seven more things, I have sixteen things.

The opposite of that is if I have sixteen things and give away seven things, I am left with nine things.

9 + 7 = 16

16 - 7 = 9
