Multiplication Equations 2

Front

What is a multiplication equation?

Back

A multiplication equation is a mathematical statement that shows that two expressions are equal, involving multiplication. For example, 3x = 12.

Front

How do you solve for x in the equation 10x = 120?

Back

To solve for x, divide both sides by 10. So, x = 120 / 10 = 12.

Front

What is the value of x in the equation 6x = 54?

Back

x = 54 / 6 = 9.

Front

How do you isolate the variable in the equation 6x = 48?

Back

Divide both sides by 6. So, x = 48 / 6 = 8.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 2x = 16?

Back

x = 16 / 2 = 8.

Front

If 15y = 120, how do you find y?

Back

Divide both sides by 15. So, y = 120 / 15 = 8.

Front

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

Back

Isolating a variable means to manipulate the equation so that the variable is on one side by itself, making it easier to solve.

Front

What is the first step in solving a multiplication equation?

Back

The first step is to identify the variable and the coefficient (the number multiplying the variable).

Front

How can you check your solution for a multiplication equation?

Back

Substitute the value of the variable back into the original equation to see if both sides are equal.

Front

What is a coefficient in a multiplication equation?

Back

A coefficient is the number that is multiplied by the variable. For example, in 4x, 4 is the coefficient.
