Explain one way to apply inverse operations to solve each equation. Then, solve each equation and verify check your solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use inverse operations to isolate x by itself.

The inverse of addition is subtraction so we can subtract 2 from both sides

Divison is the inverse of multiplication so we can divide 5 by both sides to find the answer of x.

We can plug 4 in for a to verify it

So it is true.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
