Open in App
Solution

here is how to solve the question in the above example using inverses:
  1. First, write down the expression:
  2. 2a + 3 = 7.
  3. Then, undo the + 3 by subtracting 3. Remember, you need to do it to BOTH sides!
  4. 2a + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3,
  5. so 2a = 4.
  6. Undo the multiply by 2 by dividing by 2, again on both sides:
  7. 2a ÷ 2 = 4 ÷ 2.
