Solving Multiplication and Division Equations Section 6.2Objective: Solve one-step multiplication and division equations
Notes • You can use the Division Property of Equality to solve multiplication equations. • You can also use the Multiplication Property of Equality to solve division equations.
Procedure • Isolate the variable by performing the inverse operation on the number that is attached to the variable. • The inverse of multiplication is division. The inverse of division is multiplication. • Use the “Golden Rule.” Perform the same operation on the other side of the equal sign.
Example m ÷ 3 = 10 The inverse of division is multiplication. x 3 x 3 Repeat the operation on the other side. 30 m =
Check. Use the original equation. m ÷ 3 = 10 30 ÷ 3 = 10 10 = 10
Example 2 The inverse of multiplying is dividing. 7b = 105 ÷ 7 ÷ 7 1 5 105 7 b = 15 7 3 5 35 0
Check 7b = 105 7(15) = 105 105 = 105
Using the Division Property of Equality • 1. Solve 20 = 4x. Check your solution. • 2. Solve -8y = 24. Check your solution. • 3. Solve -9d = -72. Check your solution.
Using the Division Property of Equality 4. Lelah sent 574 text messages last week. On average, how many messages did she send each day? 5. Antonia earns $6 per hour helping her grandmother. Write and solve an equation to find how many hours she needs to work to earn $48.
Word Problem Practice • Raul is solving -6x = 72. Find his mistake and correct it.
Word Problem Practice 2. True or False. To solve the equation 5x = 20, you can use the Multiplication Property of Equality. Explain your reasoning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.
