Question

Which operation will cancel out division?

Answer 1

Answer:

The operation that will cancel out division is multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

$\frac{2+5x}{2}$

*in order to solve for x, and get the upper equation without division, you must multiply by the negative reciprocal*

$2*(\frac{2+5x}2} )$

$4+10x$

*to get x alone, we must subtract 4 from both sides*

$10x = -4\\\\-4 / 10 = - 2/5$

$x=- 2/5$
