Back

The inverse operation of multiplication is division.

Front

How do you solve the equation 8 = x + 1?

Back

To solve 8 = x + 1, subtract 1 from both sides: x = 8 - 1, so x = 7.

Front

What is the purpose of using inverse operations in solving equations?

Back

Inverse operations are used to isolate the variable and solve the equation.

Front

What is the solution of the equation x - 3 = 5?

Back

To solve x - 3 = 5, add 3 to both sides: x = 5 + 3, so x = 8.

Front

How do you check the solution of an equation?

Back

To check the solution, substitute the value back into the original equation to see if both sides are equal.

Front

What is the solution of the equation 2x = 10?

Back
