Multiplication and Division One Step Equations

Multiplication and Division One Step Equations

Integers

• In order to solve one step equations, you need to be able to complete operations with integers (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing).

• Integers are positive and negative whole numbers.

  
  

Important Vocabulary for Equations

• Variable – is a symbol, commonly a single letter, that represents a number.  

• Coefficient - A number used to multiply a variable. Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a coefficient. 

• Constant - is a number on its own

Solving Equations

• When solving equations, think of the equation as a scale. Each side of the equals sign must remain “balanced.”

• Whatever you do to one side, you MUST do it to the other.

• The goal of solving equations is to get one variable by itself on one side of the equals sign.

• You will use inverse operations to "undo" the problem to solve for the variable.

Lelah sent 574 text messages last week. On average, how many messages did she send each day?

• Let m represent the number of messages lelah sent.

• Write an equation

• 574 = 7m ( The reason we use is 7 is because there are 7 days in a week)

• Now solve (divide both sides by 7)

• M= 82

The distance d Trina traveled in her car while driving 60 miles per hour for 3 hours is given by the equation

 $\frac{d}{3}=\ 60$  . How far did she travel?

• Solve the equation  $\frac{d}{3}=60$  

• Multiply both sides by 3

• D = 180
