Inverse Operations LEQ: What are inverse operations and how do we use them to solve one step equations?

Inverse operations are operations that “undo” each other ◦For addition and subtraction, inverses are operations that we perform to a number to get 0 ◦For multiplication and addition, inverses are operations that we perform to a number to get 1

Addition and subtraction are inverses of each other ◦Addition undoes subtraction ◦Subtraction undoes addition Multiplication and Division are inverses of each other ◦Multiplication undoes division ◦Division undoes multiplication

Examples 1.) 3 ? = 1 The multiplicative inverse of 3 is 1/3. 2.) 3 +___=0 The additive inverse of 3 is ) What is the multiplicative inverse of 1/8? 4.) What is the additive inverse of -6?

Let’s solve equations using inverse properties of addition and subtraction only Ex. 1: 1 + x = 10 Ex. 2: y – 4 = 12 Ex. 3: x + 2 = -13 Ex. 4: x + -2 = -13

On your own: 1.) 12 + y = 154.) -12 = w ) 6 + x = ) 9 = r – 10
