Question
Let * be a binary operation on Z defined by a * b = a + b - 4 for all a, b ∈ Z.
Find the invertible elements in Z.
✓

Answer

Let $\text{a}\in\text{Z}$ and $\text{b}\in\text{Z}$ be the inverse of a. Then,
a * b = e = b * a
a * b = e and b * a = e
a + b - 4 = 4 and b + a - 4 = 4
$\text{b}=8-\text{a}\in\text{Z}$
Thus, 8 - a is the inverse of $\text{a}\in\text{Z.}$
