Question

Which inverse operations could you use to solve the equation m5−8=−6? Select all that apply.

A
Multiply each side by 5 and then add 8 to each side.
B
Add 8 to each side and then multiply each side by 5.
C
Add 8 to each side and then divide each side by 5.
D
Subtract 8 from each side and then multiply each side by 5.
E
Subtract 6 from each side and then multiply each side by 8.
F
Multiply each side by 5 and then add 40 to each side.

Answer 1

Correct option: C

Explanation:

To solve the equation m*5 - 8 = -6, we can use the following steps:

step1: sum 8 in both sides, to make m*5 be the only term in the left side.

m*5 = 2

step2: divide both sides by 5, then we will have 'm' isolated in the left side.

m = 2/5

So the operations we could use is: add 8 to each side and then divide each side by 5.

Correct option: C
