The document discusses mathematical inverses. It defines an inverse as something that "undoes" another operation. Specifically: - Addition is the inverse of subtraction, and subtraction is the inverse of addition, because performing one operation and then the other returns to the original number. - Examples are provided to demonstrate inverses, such as 6 - 4 = 2 and also 6 = 4 + 2, showing that subtraction and addition undo each other. - Practicing switching operation signs helps illustrate that the inverse reverses the outcome but results in the same final number, such as 5 - 3 = 2 becoming 5 = 3 + 2.
