Inverse operation is division; x = 48

Inverse operation is multiplication; x = 49

Inverse operation is addition; x = 16

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{4} = 12 \) using the inverse operation, we need to isolate \( x \).

The inverse operation of division is multiplication. So, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:

\[ x = 12 \times 4 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ x = 48 \]

So, the correct response is:

Inverse operation is multiplication; x = 48.
