Your rows would be $0.90 Chocolate, $1.20 Chocolate, and the Total Chocolate Mix, and your columns would be the Amount of Chocolate in #s and the Total Costs

(This is the best I can do coming up with a grid)

________________amt (#)_________total costs

$0.90_____________10______________9.00

$1.20______________x______________1.20x

 

Total Mix_________10+x_____________9+1.2x

Using this grid, you see that 10+x=9+1.2x so solve for x

10+x -x=9+1.2x -x

10=9+.2x

10 -9=9+.2x -9

1=.2x

1/.2=(.2x)/.2

x=5, so you need 5lbs of the $1.20 chocolate to produce a mixture worth $1.00

Assume the second number is x, then the other two are x - 2, x + 2

So x-2 + x + x + 2 = 51

-> 3x = 51

-> x = 17

Which inverse operation would be used to verify the following equation? 102 ÷ 3 = 34
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
An inverse operations is the reverse of the equation. For example, since it's 102 ÷ 3 = 34, to get the inverse you would take the opposite sign of "÷" and make it "×," while changing the equal sign to make the statement true. The inverse operation used to verify this is 102 = 3 × 34
