1. Agenda Homework Folders In Warm up
Lesson: Solving Equations by Multiplication and Division
Homework (if time)

2. Objective The student will be able to:
solve equations using multiplication and division.

3. Warm Up Solve each equation. x – 3 = 5 y + 9 = 7 8 13 = m – 6
f + 4 = -5 8 -2 19 -9

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

5. 1) Solve -5t = 60
-5 -5
t = -12
-5(-12) = 60
Draw “the river” to separate the equation into 2 sides
Divide both sides by -5
Simplify
Check your answer
60 = 60

6. 2) Solve 15 = 6n 6 6 2.5 = n 15 = 6(2.5) 15 = 15 Draw “the river”
6 6
2.5 = n
15 = 6(2.5)
Draw “the river”
Divide both sides by 6
Simplify
Check your answer
15 = 15

7. 3) Solve -3v = -129
v = -126
v = -43
v = 43
v = 126

8. 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.

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

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

11. 6) Which step clears the fraction in
Multiply by 3
Multiply by 5
Multiply by -12
Multiply by -5
Answer Now

12. 7) Solve
b = -56
b = -14
b = 14
b = 56
