• I understand!

• Got it!

What inverse (opposite) operation would you need to perform to solve for b?

• Multiply by 5 on each side

• Divide by 5 on each side

• Add 5 on each side

• Subtract 5 on each side

Answer explanation

Since the problem reads as "5 times b equals 45," we need to use the opposite operation (division) to isolate and solve for b!

Solve the equation. What is the value of b? Type in only the number as your answer.

Answer explanation

We know 9 is correct because 5 * 9 = 45!

What inverse (opposite) operation would you need to perform to solve for a?

• Add 8 on each side

• Subtract 8 on each side

• Divide 8 on each side

• Multiply 8 on each side

Answer explanation

Since the problem reads as "8 times a equals 56," we need to use the opposite operation (division) to isolate and solve for a!

Solve the equation. What is the value of a? Type in only the number as your answer.

Answer explanation

We know 7 is correct because 8 * 7 = 56!

What inverse (opposite) operation would you need to perform to solve for x?

• Divide each side by 2

• Multiply each side by 2

• Subtract 2 on each side

• Add 2 on each side

Answer explanation

Since the problem reads as "2 times x equals 24," we need to use the opposite operation (division) to isolate and solve for x!

Solve the equation. What is the value of x? Type in only the number as your answer.

Answer explanation

We know 12 is correct because 2 * 12 = 24!

What inverse (opposite) operation would you need to perform to solve for n?

• Subtract 10 on each side

• Multiply by 10 on each side

• Add 10 on each side

• Divide by 10 on each side

Answer explanation

Since the problem reads as "10 times n equals 130," we need to use the opposite operation (division) to isolate and solve for n!

Solve the equation. What is the value of n? Type in only the number as your answer.

Answer explanation

We know 13 is correct because 10 * 13 = 130!

What inverse (opposite) operation would you need to perform to solve for d?

• Add 6 to each side

• Divide each side by 6

• Multiply each side by 6

• Subtract 6 from each side

Answer explanation

Since the problem reads as "6 times d equals 36," we need to use the opposite operation (division) to isolate and solve for d!
