  2. Warm Up Simplify: 1) a = -2.8 1) -5.2 + a = -8 2) 90 = -22 + a 2) a = 112 3) -12 + f = 3 3) f = -9 4) -1200 + j = 345 4) j = 1545 CONFIDENTIAL

  3. Introduction Solving an equation that contains multiplication or division is similar to solving an equation that contains addition or subtraction. Use inverse operations to undo the operations on the variable. An equation is like a balanced scale. To keep the balance, whatever you do on one side of the equation, you must also do on the other side. CONFIDENTIAL

  4. -4 = k -5 -4 20 -5 -4 -4 Solving Equations by Using Multiplication Solve each equation. Check your answer. A) -4 = k -5 (-5) (-4) = (-5) ( k) -5 Since k is divided by -5, multiply both sides by -5 to undo the division. 20 = k Check To check your solution, substitute 20 for k in the original equation. CONFIDENTIAL

  5. m= 1.5 3 4.5 3 1.5 1.51.5 B) m= 1.5 3 (3) × m= (3) × 1.5 3 Since m is divided by 3, multiply both sides by 3 to undo the division. m = 4.5 Check To check your solution, substitute 1.5 for m in the original equation. CONFIDENTIAL

  10. Remember that dividing is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal. When solving equations, you will sometimes find it easier to multiply by a reciprocal instead of dividing. This is often true when an equation contains fractions. CONFIDENTIAL

  11. Solving Equations That Contain Fractions Solve each equation. A) 5v= 35 9 9 × 5v = 9 ×35 5 9 5 The reciprocal of 5/9 is 9/5 . Since v is multiplied by 5/9 , multiply both sides by 9/5. v = 63 CONFIDENTIAL

  12. B) 5= 4y 2 3 5= 4y 2 3 The reciprocal of 4/3 is 3/4 . Since v is multiplied by 4/3 , multiply both sides by 3/4. 3 × 5 = 3 ×4y 4 2 4 3 15 = y 8 CONFIDENTIAL

  13. Now you try! Solve each equation. Check your answer. 1) -1 = b 4 5 1) b = -1.25 2) 4j = 2 6 3 2) j = 1 3) w = 612 3) w = 102 6 CONFIDENTIAL

  14. (3)d = (3) × 10 3 The distance in miles from the airport that a plane should begin descending, divided by 3, equals the plane’s height above the ground in thousands of feet. If a plane is 10,000 feet above the ground, write and solve an equation to find the distance at which the pilot should begin descending. Solution: Distance divided by 3 equals height in thousands of feet. d= h 3 Write an equation to represent the relationship. d= 10 3 Substitute 10 for h. Since d is divided by 3, multiply both sides by 3 to undo the division. d = 30 The pilot should begin descending 30 miles from the airport. CONFIDENTIAL
