Kelly solved an equation: H/ 4 - 11 = 13 using two inverse operations of adding 11 to both sides of the equations, and then divi

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

She should have multiplied by 4, not divided

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{H}{4}$ - 11 = 13 ( add 11 to both sides ) ← correct

$\frac{H}{4}$ = 24 ( multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction )

H = 4 × 24 = 96

H is divided by 4, thus the inverse operation is to multiply
