What is the inverse operation of subtraction?

Back

The inverse operation of subtraction is addition.

Front

If you have the equation x + a = b, how do you solve for x?

Back

Subtract a from both sides: x = b - a.

If you have the equation y - b = c, how do you solve for y?

Back

Add b to both sides: y = c + b.
