Question

what's the inverse opeRation of 3x=48​

Answer 1

Answer:

The inverse operation is dividing by 3.

Explanation:

We use inverse operations to isolate variables so we can solve for their value.

Using the inverse operation in 3x = 48 will find "x".

The operation is multiplying by 3. The inverse is the opposite, dividing by 3.

3x = 48

3x/3 = 48/3 You must do operations on both sides for them to remain equal

x = 16

Other inverses:

Add/Subtract

Multiply/Divide

Root/Exponent

Inverse operations cancel out the operation.

Answer 2

Answer:

x =e6/3≅134.48

Explanation:

8 ln(3x)=48

Divide by 8:

ln (3x)=6

Take the inverse function (i.e. place both sides as an exponent to  

e

). This will cancel the  

ln

e ln (3x)=e6

Keep in mind that  

e

is a number and so we can treat it like any other number.

3 x=e6

x =e6/3≅134.48
