SOLUTION: I don't understand the inverse operations when fractions are involved the problem I am working on is: x/12 +8=105 I started: 105-8 = 97, but I don't know the next step s

When you say , you're saying: "some number divided by 12 equals 97"

In order to isolate 'x', you need to "undo" every operation that is being done on 'x'. So in this case, you need to undo that division (note: in the first step, you undid the addition of 8 by subtracting 8 from both sides). Since the opposite of division is multiplication, this means you need to multiply both sides by 12 like so:



and simplify




So the solution is
