Check your answers in the back of the book.

ObjectiveThe student will be able to:

solve equations using multiplication and division.

1) Solve. -5t = 60

To get the variable by itself, which number needs to be moved?

-5

To move the -5, you have to do the opposite operation. What

operation will we use?

division

1) Solve -5t = 60 -5 -5

t = -12

-5(-12) = 60

1. Draw “the river” to separate the equation into 2 sides

2. Divide both sides by -5

3. Simplify

4. Check your answer

4) Solve

You don’t like fractions? Let’s get rid of them!

“Clear the fraction”

by multiplying both sides of the equation by the denominator.

x

4 · · 4

x = -48

1. Draw “the river”

2. Clear the fraction – multiply both sides by 4

3. Simplify

4. Check your answer

Try these on your own...

x = 3 7

4w = 16

y = 8 -2

2x = 12 3

-2z = -12 3x = 9 -4

The answers...

x = 21 w = 4

y = -16 x = 18

z = 6 x = -12
