Inverse Operations

The video tutorial explains inverse operations, which are operations that undo each other, such as addition and subtraction or multiplication and division. It demonstrates how to use inverse operations to solve equations by isolating variables and checking solutions. The tutorial includes examples and practice problems to reinforce the concept.

What are inverse operations?

• Operations that are the same

• Operations that undo each other

• Operations that multiply each other

• Operations that divide each other

In the equation X + 5 = y, if y = 8, what is the value of X?

• X = 5

• X = 8

• X = 3

• X = 13

Why is it important to check your solution after solving an equation?

• To find a different solution

• To change the variables

• To make the equation more complex

• To ensure the equation is balanced

In the equation b - 4 = C, if C = 9, what is the value of b?

• b = 5

• b = 4

• b = 9

• b = 13

What is the inverse operation of subtraction?

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Division

• Multiplication

In the practice problem S + 6 = T, if T = 15, what is the value of S?

• S = 9

• S = 6

• S = 21

• S = 15

What should you do to both sides of an equation to keep it balanced?

• Subtract different numbers

• Perform the same operation

• Add different numbers

• Ignore one side
