    What is the inverse operation for addition?

    • Subtraction

    • Multiplication

    • Division

    Correct Answer
    A. Subtraction
    Explanation
    The inverse operation for addition is subtraction. When two numbers are added together, subtracting one of the numbers from the sum will give you the other number. Subtraction undoes the effect of addition and brings the numbers back to their original values.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    X + 8 = 15

    • X = 7

    • X = -7

    • X = 23

    • X = -23

    Correct Answer
    A. X = 7
    Explanation
    To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation:
    x + 8 - 8 = 15 - 8 x = 7  

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    3x = 12

    • X = -4

    • X = 4

    • X = 36

    • X = 15

    Correct Answer
    A. X = 4
    Explanation
    The given equation is 3x = 12. To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 3, which gives us x = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 4.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    6n = 30

    • 5

    • -5

    • 24

    • 180

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    The equation 6n = 30 can be solved by dividing both sides of the equation by 6. This will give us n = 5, which means that the value of n that satisfies the equation is 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.

    Rate this question:

    -2x = 88

    • X = 44

    • X = -44

    • X = -176

    • X = 176

    Correct Answer
    A. X = -44
    Explanation
    The given equation is -2x = 88. To solve for x, we need to isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by -2. This gives us x = -44. Therefore, the correct answer is x = -44.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    H - 34 = 17

    • H = 17

    • H = 51

    11x = -286

    • 297

    • 26

    • -297

    • -26

    Correct Answer
    A. -26
    Explanation
    To solve the equation 11x = -286, we need to isolate x. To do this, we divide both sides of the equation by 11. This gives us x = -286/11. Simplifying this further, we find that x is approximately equal to -26. Therefore, the correct answer is -26.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    -3m = -66

    • 198

    • -22

    • 69

    Correct Answer
    A. 22
    Explanation
    In the given equation, -3m = -66, we need to find the value of m. To isolate m, we divide both sides of the equation by -3. This gives us m = -66/-3, which simplifies to m = 22. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    -12 = x / 3

    • 4

    • -36

  • 20. 

    -5 = -20 + x

    • -15

    • -25

    • 100

    • 15

    Correct Answer
    A. 15
    Explanation
    The equation -5 = -20 + x can be solved by adding 20 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable x. This gives us 15 = x, which means that x is equal to 15. Therefore, the correct answer is 15.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Y - 3 = -5

    • Y = 8

    • Y = -8

    • Y = 2

    • Y = -2

    Correct Answer
    A. Y = -2
