Question

Which expression can be used to check the answer to 56 ÷ (-14) = n?

A) -14 x n
B) n ÷ (-14)
C) 56 x (-14)
D) n ÷ 56

Answer 1

A. Multiplication is the ONLY function that reverses what division did. If you did 56/-14 = n, then n x -14 should equal 56.

Answer 2

ANSWER

A) -14 x n

EXPLANATION


The given expression is:


$56 \div ( - 14) = n$


This means that , we divided 56 by -14 and the result is n.


To verify the result, we multiply n by (-14) to see if we can get, 56.


This gives us,

$- 14 \times n$


The correct answer is A.
