all options are right.

True: The equation represents the number that gives twenty-four when multiplied by 4.
True: Multiplication is the inverse operation.

anonymous · Answer

no, to solve, you must divide both sides by 4.

anonymous · Answer

since 4d=24
divide both sides by 4
d=6

anonymous · Answer

to check, you use multiplication, not division:
4d=24
4(6)=24
24=24

mikurout · Answer

@haiimawesome All the options are right.

thx guys

np.

@mikurout no they aren't

@haiimawesome  Which option are you thinking is wrong?

anonymous · Answer

To solve, you must divide both sides by twenty-four. 
Checking the solution involves division. 
THOSE TWO ARE WRONG

anonymous · Answer

because you don't divide both sides by 24 to solve 4d=24
you divide both sides by 4

anonymous · Answer

checking involves multiplication, not division, since to check that d=6, you multiply 6x4 to get 24

mikurout · Answer

@haiimawesome if you will divide both side with 24 ,then also it can be solved.

mikurout · Answer

after dividing you will have
d/6 =1
so d=6

anonymous · Answer

no, that will give you:
4d=24
4/24d=1
1/6d=1

anonymous · Answer

then i guess you could divide both sides by 1/6 to get d=6

anonymous · Answer

but nobody does that...

mikurout · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

that isn't the proper way

mikurout · Answer

math doesnot depend on anybody.

anonymous · Answer

true, but i can guarantee that that option was false

mikurout · Answer

thats also the right way.
try to understand @haiimawesome

mikurout · Answer

i am sure all the options are right.
give me a valid reason so that I will think those are wrong.

anonymous · Answer

@jjthebeast89 
which options were correct?

mikurout · Answer

Logically all the options are right.
Are you agree with this or not?
@haiimawesome

anonymous · Answer

logically i guess...wait but how about Checking the solution involves division.

mikurout · Answer

4*d =24
so d = 6
so 24/d =4

anonymous · Answer

okay. then logically they are all correct

mikurout · Answer

yes just want to say this thing.

mikurout · Answer

@haiimawesome  It is not important , how you do a problem?
but the important thing is what are the possible ways for doing the same problem.

anonymous · Answer

i understand your point.
