1) What is the opposite of adding 5? 2) What is the opposite of subtracting 20?
3) What is the opposite of multiplying by 1/2?
4) What is the opposite of dividing by 10?

1) subtracting 5

2) adding 20

3) dividing by 2 (multiplying by 1/2)

4) multiplying by 1/10 (dividing by 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four main operations in math: adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. Each of the operations has an opposite. Adding and subtracting are opposites and multiplying and dividing are opposites. This means that subtracting can undo adding and vice versa; additionally, dividing can undo multiplying or vice versa. So, to find the opposite of something switch the operation to the opposite and keep the number. However, it is important to note that with multiplying and dividing you can also find the opposite by keeping the operation while changing the number to the reciprocal.

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)
