Front

What is the Division Property of Equality?

Back

The Division Property of Equality states that if you divide both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the two sides remain equal.

Front

Solve for x: 4x = 72

Back

x = 18

Front

Back

Add 8 to both sides to isolate the term with x.

Back

x = 168

Front

What is the Addition Property of Equality?

Back

The Addition Property of Equality states that if you add the same number to both sides of an equation, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What is the Subtraction Property of Equality?

Back

The Subtraction Property of Equality states that if you subtract the same number from both sides of an equation, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What is the Multiplication Property of Equality?

Back

The Multiplication Property of Equality states that if you multiply both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, allowing you to multiply a single term by each term inside a parenthesis.

Front

Identify the mistake: 2(x + 3) = 2x + 6. Is it correct?

Back

This equation is solved correctly.

Front

Solve for x: 3x + 5 = 20

Back
