Question
The steps in solving 8b ÷ 2 = 24 are
- Multiply both sides with 2 and then divide both sides by 8
- Multiply both sides with 2 and then multiply both sides by 8
- Divide both sides with 2 and then multiply both sides by 8
- Divide both sides with 2 and then divide both sides by 8
Hint:
An operation that reverses the results of the original operation to isolate the variable in order to bring the equation to its simplest form is known as the inverse operation.
The correct answer is: Multiply both sides with 2 and then divide both sides by 8
GIVEN-
8b ÷ 2 = 24
TO FIND-
Steps in solving the given equation.
SOLUTION-
8b ÷ 2 = 24
Step-1: We Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate 2 from LHS.
∴ 8b = 24 * 2 ….............................................................. (Multiplying both sides by 2)
∴ 8b = 48
Step-2: We Divide both sides by 8 to eliminate 8 from LHS.
∴ b = 48 / 8 ................................................................. (Dividing both sides by 8)
∴ b = 6
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'a' i.e. 'Multiply both sides with 2 and then divide both sides by 8' is the correct answer to the given question.
