I am sure I have done this one recently.
You need to make a the subject, i.e. turn the equation into a=. In order to do this you need the a terms on one side and the numbers on the other.
6a + 12 = 55 - 2a
Start by adding 2a to each side.
6a +2a + 12 = 55 - 2a + 2a
8a + 12 = 55
Now subtract 12 from each side
8a + 12 - 12 = 55 - 12
8a = 43
now divide each side by 8
8a/8 = 43/8
a=43/8
what is a
6a + 12 = 55 - 2a
please show workings

Inverse operations are the reverse of an effect of an another operation. An example would be addition and subtraction. Here is a problem of an inverse operation.
7+4=11
4+7=11
7+4=11
4+7=11
