Question 289246: Homework question:
For the expression nx7 you would use the inverse operation of division. What's the inverse operation? What would you do to get n alone?
What do they mean by "get n alone"? I know if I had nx7 = 21 the inverse would be 21 divided by 7 or 21 divided by n.

Inverse operation of division is multiplication.
Not sure what the first question is really asking.
But using your example

to get 'n' alone means to get n on one side of the equal sign and everything else on the other side
