A) Divide by 2; x = 13
B) Divide by 2; x = 12
C) Divide by 2; x = 10
D) Multiply by 2; x = 12
E) Multiply by 2; x = 13

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inverse operation to solve for x in the equation 2x = 24 is to divide both sides by 2. This isolates x on one side, giving x = 12. Therefore, the answer is choice B, as it correctly identifies the division by 2 as the inverse operation and provides the correct solution, x = 12.
