Why subtraction is the exact opposite of addition?
Subtracting a number is the same as adding its opposite. So, subtracting a positive number is like adding a negative; you move to the left on the number line. Subtracting a negative number is like adding a positive; you move to the right on the number line.
What is the link between addition and subtraction?
What is the relationship between addition and subtraction? Addition and subtraction are the inverse operations of each other. Put simply, this means that they are the opposite. You can undo an addition through subtraction, and you can undo a subtraction through addition.

Why is it possible to use both subtraction and addition to solve the same subtraction problem?
We want to isolate the variable, so to ‘undo’ the subtraction we will add the number to both sides. We use the Addition Property of Equality. When you add the same quantity to both sides of an equation, you still have equality.

How do you teach the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction?
Addition and subtraction are inverse operations because one operation can “undo” the other operation. Adding 3 and 5 to get 8 is the opposite of 8 minus 5, leaving 3. You can strengthen addition skills by investigating two special properties. Students may be familiar with the Order Property.
How do you describe the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction?
What is the inverse opposite of addition?
The inverse of addition is subtraction and vice versa. The inverse of multiplication is division and vice versa.
What is inverse opposite operation of subtraction?
The inverse operation of subtraction is division.
How is the relationship of addition and subtraction similar to multiplication and division?
How is the relationship of addition and subtraction similar to the relationship of multiplication and division? Possible answer: Both relationships create identities.
What is the rule of subtraction?
The rule is two negatives make a positive, i.e. subtraction of a negative number becomes an addition….
