It is necessary to apply inverse operation on both sides of the equal sign when solving equations in order to maintain the balance of the equality sign.
An inverse operation are two operations which undo each other, thus, inverse operations on both sides of an equation helps to keep the equations equal.

What should be added to 8 to make the sum of 0
Cloud [144]

Conceptually, you are asking for the additive inverse of 8. By definition, in fact, the additive inverse of a number x is a number y such that x+y=0

You obtain the additive inverse of a number by switching its sign, so the additive inverse of 8 is -8. In fact, you have

8+(-8) = 8-8=0

Write 5/8 and 9/14 so that they have a comon denominatr
valentina_108 [34]

The denominator is the bottom portion of the fraction. Example 4/6, the 6 is the denominator. The easiest way to start out in finding the common denominator is to see what number, 8 and 14, go into equally. Example: 1/4 and 1/3, 3 and 4 both go into 12. If you multiply 4 by 3 as well as 3 by 4 you get 12 both times. Now try it with 8 and 14.

What number can 8 and 14 go into equally? (56)

8x7=56...14x4=56
