Solve Multiplication and Division Equations · Inverse operation
- Identify the operation applied to the variable
- Use the inverse operation: Divide to undo multiplication; multiply to undo division
- Balance: Apply the inverse operation to both sides to isolate the variable
- Solve Multiplication and Division Equations (Resolver ecuaciones de multiplicación y división) — Use inverse multiplication or division to isolate the variable.
- Inverse operation (Operación inversa) — Two math actions that undo each other, like × and ÷.
- Multiply (Multiplicar) — To add equal groups again and again.
- Divide (Dividir) — To split into equal groups.
- Isolate (Despejar) — To get the letter by itself on one side.
- Coefficient (Coeficiente) — The number in front of a letter, like the 3 in 3x.
- A common mistake in Solve Multiplication and Division Equations is applying the SAME operation again instead of the inverse — for example, seeing 6x = 42 and multiplying both sides by 6 to get x = 252, instead of dividing by 6 to get x = 7. Before you submit, ask: did I use the OPPOSITE operation shown in the equation, and did I apply it to both sides?
