Answer:
The inverse operation is dividing by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
We use inverse operations to isolate variables so we can solve for their value.
Using the inverse operation in 3x = 48 will find "x".
The operation is multiplying by 3. The inverse is the opposite, dividing by 3.
3x = 48
3x/3 = 48/3 You must do operations on both sides for them to remain equal
x = 16
Other inverses:
Add/Subtract
Multiply/Divide
Root/Exponent
Inverse operations cancel out the operation.
