How to use inverse operations to check subtractions

In this topic you are asked to select the correct inverse operation to use to check the given subtraction sum.

Inverse operations are pairs of operations that "undo" each other. For example, addition and subtraction are inverse operations, as are multiplication and division. To use inverse operations to check subtractions, you can perform the opposite operation to the subtraction, which should result in the original number you started with.

Let's say you have answered the subtraction problem: 25 - 7 and decided the answer is 18.

To check this problem using inverse operations, you can perform the opposite operation to subtraction, which is addition. So, you can add 7 to the answer 18 to get back to the original number:

25 - 7 = 18

18 + 7 = 25

If the answer you get from adding the two numbers is the same as the number you started with (in this case, 25), then you know that your original subtraction problem was correct.

A more complex subtraction might be 72 - 45

To check this problem using inverse operations, you can perform the inverse operation, addition. So, you can add 45 to your answer to get back to the original number:

72 - 45 = 27

27 + 45 = 72


Notes on the topic: Check subtractions using inverse operations

In each question you are given a subtraction equation. You are asked to choose the inverse equation that will confirm the subtraction is correct.

With our Rock fall math game you will be practicing the topic "Check subtractions using inverse operations" from 5th grade / Add + Subtract / Checking answers. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to choose the inverse operations that check these subtractions.

Large thumbnail for math game Rock fall

ROCK FALL is based on the road traffic warning sign for falling rocks - a sign that seems a bit less useful than somebody getting up there on that cliff and actually doing something about it... Anyway, the rocks are falling and it is your job to stop them hitting the road below, or at least stopping them hitting the road below too many times and breaking it. Smash the rocks by clicking or tapping on them (not so easy in real life of course) - they will turn into snowflakes and float gently down into nothing.

There are 4 rocks to stop and not much time to do it (if you want to get a good score and get on the leaderboard). This game is fun and fast and requires good reflexes and a good strategy. Plan to break the smaller rocks first if you want a good score because the rocks fall faster as the game progresses. It also helps to decide where on their path you plan to click / tap the rocks.
