One Step Equations Involving Multiplication or Division

We identified four properties of equality, including:
•Addition Property of Equality (if a = b, then a + c = b + c)
•Subtraction Property of Equality (if a = b, then a - c = b - c)
•Multiplication Property of Equality (if a = b, then ac = bc)
•Division Property of Equality (if a = b, then a/c = b/c but c ≠ 0)

Using these properties, we reviewed how to solve linear equations involving one step and multiplication or division. Sometimes it will be easier to multiply by the reciprocal than to divide by a fraction.

Because this is Red Ribbon Week, students received red wrist bands to signify their willingness to live drug free lives.
