Given that 2/3a = 16, which of the following illustrates how the multiplicative inverse
property can be used to find the value of a?

Since the multiplicative inverse of a fraction p/q is the fraction that swaps its numerator and denominator, i.e. q/p, we have that the inverse of 2/3 is 3/2.

So, if we multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2, we have

3/2 and 2/3 are multiplicative inverse of each other, and by definition this means that they give 1 when multiplied:

On the right hand side, we have

And so the solution is

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5
