Why can you calculate (-20) plus ( plus 8) by calculating 20-8 and taking the opposite of your result?
When you calculate (-20) plus (+8) by finding 20-8 and taking the opposite of the result, you are essentially using the concept of adding a negative number. By subtracting 8 from 20, you get 12. Taking the opposite of 12 gives you -12, which is the same as adding -12 to -20. This method follows the rules of arithmetic and helps simplify the calculation by converting it into a subtraction problem.

What does the word inverse operation mean?
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).
