The proper inverse operation to check the answer to 14 + 17 = 31 would be subtraction.

To check the answer, we can subtract the second number from the sum of the first two numbers. In this case, 31 - 17 = 14. Since the result is the same as the first number, which is 14, we can conclude that the addition was done correctly.
