Question Solve the equation using the inverse operation: x/4 = 12(1 point) Responses Inverse operation is addition; x = 16 Inverse operation is addition; x = 16 Inverse operation is subtraction; x = 8 Inverse operation is subtraction; x = 8 Inverse operation is multiplication; x = 48 Inverse operation is multiplication; x = 48 Inverse operation is division; x = 48

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{4} = 12 \) using inverse operations, you want to eliminate the division by 4. The inverse operation of division is multiplication.

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4:

\[ x = 12 \times 4 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = 48 \]

So, the correct response is:

Inverse operation is multiplication; x = 48.
