1 . Solving Equations Using Multiplication or Division to solve equations? How can you use multiplication or division ACTIVITY: Using Division to Solve Equations Work with a partner. Use algebra tiles to model and solve the equation. a. = Model the equation =. Your goal is to get one variable tile by itself. Because there are variable tiles, divide the tiles into equal groups. Circle the groups. Keep one of the groups. This shows the value of. So, =. b. k = 8 c. = t d. 0 = m e. h = 6 ACTIVITY: Writing and Solving Equations Work with a partner. Write an equation shown by the algebra tiles. Then solve. Solving Equations In this lesson, you will solve equations using multiplication or division. solve real-life problems. a. c. b. d. 0 Chapter Epressions and Equations

2 ACTIVITY: Using a Different Method to Find a Solution Math Practice Analyze Givens How can you use the given information to decide which equation represents the situation? Work with a partner. Choose the equation you can use to solve each problem. Solve the equation. Then eplain how to solve the problem without using an equation. How are the two methods related? a. For the final part of a race, a handcyclist travels feet each second across a distance of 00 feet. How many seconds does it take for the handcyclist to travel the last 00 feet of the race? = = = = b. The melting point of the element radon is about 96 F. The melting point of nitrogen is about.6 times the melting point of radon. What is the melting point of nitrogen?.6 = =.6.6 = =.6 c. This year, a hardware store has a profit of $6.0 million. This profit is of last year s profit. What is last year s profit? 6 = 6 = + = 6 = 6. IN YOUR OWN WORDS How can you use multiplication or division to solve equations? Give an eample of each. Use what you learned about solving equations to complete Eercises 7 0 on page 06. Section. Solving Equations Using Multiplication or Division 0

3 . Lesson Lesson Tutorials Multiplication Property of Equality Words Multiplying each side of an equation by the same number produces an equivalent equation. Algebra If a = b, then a c = b c. Remember Multiplication and division are inverse operations. Division Property of Equality Words Dividing each side of an equation by the same number produces an equivalent equation. Algebra If a = b, then a c = b c, c 0. EXAMPLE Solving Equations a. Solve = 6. Undo the division. = 6 Write the equation. = ( 6) Multiplication Property of Equality = 8 Simplify. The solution is = 8. Check = 6 8 =? 6 6 = 6 b. Solve 8 = y. Undo the multiplication. 8 = y Write the equation. 8 = y. = y Simplify. The solution is y =.. Division Property of Equality Check 8 = y 8 =? (.) 8 = 8 Eercises 7 8 Solve the equation. Check your solution.. =. a =. =.n 0 Chapter Epressions and Equations

4 EXAMPLE Solving an Equation Using a Reciprocal Solve = 8. = 8 Write the equation. Multiply each side by, the reciprocal of. ( ) = ( 8) = 0 The solution is = 0. Multiplicative Inverse Property Simplify. Eercises 9 Solve the equation. Check your solution.. =. 8 b = 6. 8 h = 9 0 F EXAMPLE Real-Life Application The record low temperature in Arizona is.6 times the record low temperature in Rhode Island. What is the record low temperature in Rhode Island? Words The record low in Arizona is.6 times the record low in Rhode Island. Record low temperature in Arizona Variable Let t be the record low in Rhode Island. Equation 0 =.6 t 0 =.6t 0.6 =.6t.6 = t Write equation. Division Property of Equality Simplify. The record low temperature in Rhode Island is F. Eercises 7 7. The record low temperature in Hawaii is 0. times the record low temperature in Alaska. The record low temperature in Hawaii is F. What is the record low temperature in Alaska? Section. Solving Equations Using Multiplication or Division 0
