2. Objective The student will be able to: solve equations using multiplication and division. Designed by Skip Tyler, Varina High School

3. 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

4. 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

5. 2) Solve 15 = 3n 3 3 5 = n 15 = 3(5) 1.Draw “the river” 2.Divide both sides by 3 3.Simplify 4.Check your answer

6. 3) Solve -3v = -129 1.v = -126 2.v = -43 3.v = 43 4.v = 126 Answer Now

7. 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.

8. 4) Solve 4 · · 4 x = 48 1.Draw “the river” 2.Clear the fraction – multiply both sides by 4 3.Simplify 4.Check your answer

9. 3 · = 18 · 3 2x = 54 2 2 x = 27 1.Draw “the river” 2.Clear the fraction – multiply both sides by 3 3.Simplify 4.Divide both sides by 2 5.Simplify 6.Check your answer 5) Solve = 18
