Question

When rewriting a literal equation in terms of a specific variable, you may need to divide by which of the following options? Select all that apply.

Inequality Sign
Variable Expression
Variable
Number

Answer 1

Select: Variable Expression, Variable, Number.

You often divide both sides of an equation by a number, a variable, or a variable expression to isolate the desired variable. You do not divide by an "inequality sign." (Remember you cannot divide by zero — if the divisor is a variable/expression, note any restrictions.)
