Solving One-Step Equations: Multiplication and Division

This video tutorial by Mr. J covers solving multiplication and division one-step equations. It explains the process of isolating the variable using inverse operations and maintaining balance in equations. The tutorial includes four examples, demonstrating how to solve equations like 6x = 24 and 72 = 9r, emphasizing the importance of checking solutions by substituting back into the original equations.

What is the first step in solving multiplication and division one-step equations?

• Multiply both sides by the variable

• Isolate the variable using the inverse operation

• Add the variable to both sides

• Divide both sides by the variable

Why is it important to understand the process of solving one-step equations?

• To solve them faster using mental math

• To only solve equations using multiplication and division

• To apply the process to more complex equations

• To avoid using the inverse operation

In the equation 6x = 24, what operation is used to isolate x?

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Division

After isolating the variable, how can you verify your solution is correct?

• By dividing the original equation by the solution

• By multiplying the solution with the original equation

• By substituting the solution back into the original equation

• By adding the solution to the original equation

What is the result of isolating r in the equation 72 = 9r?

• r = 72

• r = 81

• r = 9

• r = 8

How do you balance an equation when isolating a variable?

• Ignore balancing as it is not necessary

• Perform the same operation on both sides

• Perform different operations on each side

• Perform the operation on the left side only

In the equation v/3 = 5, what operation isolates v?

• Multiplication

• Division

• Subtraction

• Addition

What is the solution to the equation v/3 = 5?

• v = 15

• v = 8

• v = 3

• v = 5

In the equation 4 = e/9, what operation will isolate e?

• Division

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Addition

What is the correct value of e in the equation 4 = e/9?

• e = 9

• e = 4

• e = 36

• e = 13
