Question

Sarah is solving r - 7 = 234. She wants to use inverse operations to solve this equations. Therefore she should,

a. multiply 7 to both sides of the equation
b. divide 7 to both sides of the equation
c. add 7 to both sides of the equation
d. subtract 7 to both sides of the equation.

Answer 1

Option C : add 7 to both sides of the equation is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given that:

Sarah is solving the following equation.

r - 7 = 234

Sarah wants to use inverse operations.

In inverse operation she will eliminate 7 from left side of the equation by adding 7 to the both sides of the equation.

Hence,

Option C : add 7 to both sides of the equation is the correct answer.
