Question

Identify the inverse operation needed to solve the given equation.


14y = 210

Answer 1

division is the inverse operation

Explanation:

Given

14y = 210

y is being multiplied by 14

To solve for y perform the inverse operation to multiplication , that is division

14y = 210 ( divide both sides by 14 )

y =
`(210)/(14)` = 15

Answer 2

Explanation:

Division operation

14y = 210

Divide both sides by 14

`(14y)/(14)=(210)/(14)`

y = 15
