Unit 8 Lesson 10: Solving One-Step Division Equations

Front

What is a one-step division equation?

Back

A one-step division equation is an equation that can be solved in one step by dividing both sides by the same number.

Front

What is the inverse operation of division?

Back

Multiplication is the inverse operation of division.

Front

How do you solve the equation x/12 = 4/5?

Back

Multiply both sides by 12 to get x = 12 * (4/5) = 48/5.

Front

What operation do you perform to isolate x in the equation x/4 = 7?

Back

Multiply both sides by 4 to isolate x.

Front

If x/17 = 21, what is the value of x?

Back

x = 21 * 17 = 357.

Front

What is the solution to the equation x/6 = 1?

Back

x = 1 * 6 = 6.

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

Isolating a variable means to get the variable alone on one side of the equation.

Front

What is the first step to solve x/8 = 3?

Back

Multiply both sides by 8.

Front

If you have the equation x/5 = 2, how do you find x?

Back

Multiply both sides by 5 to find x.

Front

What is the result of multiplying both sides of the equation x/10 = 4 by 10?

Back

x = 4 * 10 = 40.
