What does 'inverse operation' mean in the context of solving equations?

• Performing the same operation on both sides of the equation

• Using a complex operation to simplify the equation

• Applying the opposite operation to isolate the variable

• Ignoring the operation to focus on the variable

What is the goal when isolating a variable in an equation?

• To multiply the variable

• To eliminate the variable

• To get the variable by itself on one side of the equation

• To combine like terms

What does it mean to 'isolate' the variable in an equation?

• To multiply the variable by itself

• To remove the variable from the equation

• To combine the variable with constants

• To get the variable alone on one side of the equation

How do you solve an equation with a variable subtracted by a constant?

• By subtracting the constant from both sides

• By adding the constant to both sides

• By multiplying both sides by the constant

• By dividing both sides by the constant

How do you solve an equation with a variable added to a constant?

• By multiplying both sides by the constant

• By adding the constant to both sides

• By subtracting the constant from both sides

• By dividing both sides by the constant

What is the inverse operation of multiplication?

• Division

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Exponentiation

What is the result of solving the equation -2m = 10 for m?

• m = -5

• m = -20

• m = 20

• m = 5

What is the correct way to solve an equation with a variable divided by a number?

• By dividing both sides by the number

• By subtracting the number from both sides

• By adding the number to both sides

• By multiplying both sides by the number

When solving an equation with a fractional coefficient, what should you multiply both sides by?

• The numerator of the fraction

• The square of the coefficient

• The reciprocal of the coefficient

• The denominator of the fraction

When solving an equation with a negative fractional coefficient, what is important to remember?

• To divide by the reciprocal without the negative

• To ignore the negative sign

• To add the reciprocal to both sides

• To multiply by the reciprocal, including the negative
