1. Algebra: Solving Equations 6-5 (pages 258-261) P4  Create visual representations of equation-solving processes that model the use of inverse operations.

2. Addition and multiplication of fractions have the same properties as addition and multiplication of whole numbers. Two numbers whose product is 1 are multiplicative inverses, or reciprocals. Multiplicative Inverse Property For all fractions, where a, b ≠ 0, Multiplicative Property of Equality If a = b, then ac = bc
