The inverse of the function y = x is denoted as y = x. The inverse function essentially swaps the roles of x and y, so the inverse of y = x is x = y. In other words, the inverse function of y = x is the function x = y.

The inverse of multiplication is division. y = 25x Substitute y for x and x for y to determine the inverse: x = 25y y = x/25
If y varies with x, then there cannot be an inverse variation between x and y!
If we assume a constant inverse relationship then we can start with the equation y = c/x where c is the constant of proportionality. Plugging in the known values of x = 7 and y = 5 we determine that c = 35. We now have the equation of y = 35/x. Plugging in 4 for x we see that y = 35/4 = 8.75.
Oh, honey, the additive inverse of x - y is simply -x + y. It's like flipping a pancake - one side is positive, the other is negative. So, if you're looking to cancel out that x - y, just throw in a -x + y and call it a day.
