Example:

If one operation will undo another operation, the two operations are called the inverse operations.

1. Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction. (x - 5 = 2 add 5 to get x = 7)
2. Subtraction is the inverse operation of addition. (x + 2 = 7 subtract 2 to get x = 5)
3. Multiplication is the inverse operation of division. (x / 2 = 5 multiply by 2 to get x = 10)
4. Division is the inverse operation of multiplication. (2x = 10 divide by 2 to get x = 5)

Use the inverse operations demonstrated above to find the roots of the following equations.

Given the equation (use the inverse of addition): x + =
