Solving One-Step Equations with Multiplication and Division

The video tutorial focuses on strengthening skills in solving one-step equations, particularly those involving multiplication and division. It begins with an introduction to the lesson's goals, followed by an explanation of inverse operations, which are essential for solving equations. The tutorial includes three examples demonstrating how to solve one-step equations using inverse operations, ensuring the equation remains balanced. Each example is followed by a method to check the solution's accuracy, reinforcing the learning process.

What is the main focus of today's lesson?

• Solving two-step equations

• Solving one-step equations involving multiplication and division

• Learning about algebraic expressions

• Understanding the concept of variables

What are inverse operations?

• Operations that only involve multiplication

• Operations that are similar to each other

• Operations that cancel each other out

• Operations that only involve addition

Why is it important to keep an equation balanced?

• To simplify the equation

• To ensure the equality remains true

• To make the equation easier to solve

• To ensure both sides have the same number of variables

How do you solve the equation 6x = 60?

• Multiply both sides by 6

• Divide both sides by 6

• Add 6 to both sides

• Subtract 6 from both sides

What is the solution to the equation 6x = 60?

• x = 6

• x = 10

• x = 60

• x = 360

How do you verify the solution to an equation?

• By substituting the solution back into the original equation

• By adding the solution to both sides

• By multiplying the solution by itself

• By dividing the solution by the original coefficient

What is the first step in solving the equation 96 = 12B?

• Divide both sides by 12

• Multiply both sides by 12

• Subtract 12 from both sides

• Add 12 to both sides

What does B equal in the equation 96 = 12B?

• B = 108

• B = 84

• B = 12

• B = 8
