Which expression can be used to check the answer to 56 divided by (negative 14) = n?

Question

1.Negative 14 times n
2.n divided by (negative 14)
3.56 times (negative 14)
4.n divided by 56

Answer 1

To check the answer to the equation \( 56 \div (-14) = n \), you would want to rearrange the equation to solve for \( n \).

The original equation can be rewritten as:

\[ n = \frac{56}{-14} \]

To check this, you can reverse the operation by multiplying both sides by \(-14\):

\[ -14 \times n = 56 \]

Thus, the correct expression to check your answer is:

1. Negative 14 times n

So, you can use option 1 to verify the solution.
