Question

2. Which inverse operations would you use to solve the equation - 8 = -6?A. Add 8 to each side and then divide each side by 5.B. Add 8 to each side and then multiply each side by 5.C. Subtract 8 from each side and then multiply each side by 5.D. Multiply each side by 5 and then add 8 to each side.

Answer 1

Equation is m/5 - 8 = -67

Now find Inverse operation

theres an order of operations , first we must isolate variable

this means get a term in m

this is make adding 8 , because m/5 -8+8 = m/5, isolated m

now add 8 at right side , then -67 +8 = -59

Then equation becomes m/5 = -59

Now multiply by 5 , and get m = (-59)• 5 = -295

So then right option is B) Add and multiply
