One Step Multiply and Divide Equations

27 = 9a

• a=3

• a=36

• a=18

• a=9

45 = 9z

• z=5

• z=36

• z=7

• z=54

Solve for x:

• x = 20

• x = 7

• x = 10

• x = 3

• Add four on both sides

• Multiply by four on both sides

• Divide by four on both sides

• Subtract four on both sides

Solve: 4x = -12

• 3

• -3

• 36

• -36

-6x = 42

• -7

• 36

• 7

• -36

-14 = -7x

• 2

• -2

• 21

• -21

15x = 45

• 30

• -30

• -3

• 3

What is the first step to this problem?

3x = 27

• Add three on both sides
