Example 1Inverse Operations Addition & Subtraction
Given that 10+10=2010 + 10 = 20, what is the value of 20−1020 - 10?
Common mistake: Adding instead of finding the inverse component.
Correct Answer:1010
Worked Solution:
Addition and subtraction are inverse operations: Since 10+10=2010 + 10 = 20, subtracting 1010 gives 20−10=1020 - 10 = 10.
