QuestionIdentify the inverse of the statement: Subtract 2 from and divide by 3. Which option states the inverse? A, B, C, or D?
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The original statement is "Subtract from and divide the result by3". . The inverse of a statement is a statement that undoes the operations of the original statement in reverse order.
STEP 2
Let's express the original statement mathematically.
STEP 3
To find the inverse of this statement, we need to undo the operations in reverse order. The original operations are subtracting2 and then dividing by3. So, the inverse operations would be multiplying by3 and then adding2.
STEP 4
Let's express the inverse statement mathematically.
STEP 5
Now, let's match our inverse statement with the given choices.
A. Multiply by3 and add2 to the result.
B. Add2 to and multiply the result by3.
C. Divide by3 and subtract2 from the result.
. None of these.
STEP 6
The correct choice is A. Multiply by3 and add2 to the result. This choice correctly represents the inverse of the original statement.
The inverse of the statement "Subtract2 from and divide the result by3" is "Multiply by3 and add2 to the result".
