Modeling Multiplication and Division Equations

Solve for x

• x = 4

• x = 1

• 2x = 4

• x = 2

What equation is modeled?

• 3 = 6

• 3x = 6

• x = 6

• 3 = 6x

Solve the equation:
4p = 16

• p = 12

• p = -12

• p = -4

• p = 4

Using the model, write the equation and solve.

• 6 = 2x; x = 4

• 6 = 2x; x = 8

• 6 = 2x; x = 12

• 6 = 2x; x = 3

10x = 90

• x = 80

• x = 100

• x = 10

• x = 9

Solve the equation
3x = 27. 

• x = 24

• x = 81

• x = 9

The variable, k, is being divided by 11. How should you show your work to isolate the variable?

• Divide both sides by 11

• Multiply both sides by 11.

• Add 11 to both sides.

• Subtract 11 to both sides.

Solve for the missing variable:

• y = 7

• y = 6

• y = 1/6

• y = 8

Solve for the missing variable:

• m = 5

• m = 1/5

• m = 25

• m = 55

Solve the equation using the image. THE RECTANGLES ARE THE VARIABLES & THE SQUARES EQUAL ONE EACH.

• n = 14

• n = 6

• n = 7

• n = 2
