Question

What inverse operation would I use to solve x+12=48?

Answer 1

Hi!

The inverse operation used is subtraction

Using subtraction you would get x=36 by subtracting both sides of the equation by 12 leaving you with x=36.

Answer 2

subtract the 12 from the 12, and then from the 48. You will mow have this:

`x = 36`
Subtraction, if its a word answer.
