Question

Explain how you could use either multiplication or division to solve the same equation.

Answer 1

Suppose you have the equation:

10x = 50


Divide both sides by 10,

\[\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{50}{10}\]

x = 5

Answer 2

It is the same operation, multiplication by 2, is same as dividing by 1/2. Provide an equation

Answer 3

And for multiplication:

Suppose you have the equation like:

\[\frac{x}{3} = 9\]

Multiply with 3 both the sides:

\[3 \times \frac{x}{3} = 9 \times 3\]

x = 27
