OpenStudy (turingtest):

\(a\) is being divided by 3 we want it by itself to accomplish this we do the inverse of dividing by 3 what is the inverse operation of division?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mutiply

OpenStudy (turingtest):

correct, so we are going to multiply \(both\) sides by what number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm 8

OpenStudy (turingtest):

no, we want to do the inverse of dividing by 3 you already said that the inverse of division is multiplication so to "undo" division by 3 we multiply by 3 just remember that anything you do to one side of the equation must also be done to the other, so be sure to multiply \(both\) sides by 3
