50x = 500 it means what number times 50 will give you 500

rxcklesskaisher:

ok

AZ:

so 50 is being multiplied with x to get x all by itself, you have to do the opposite of multiplication which is...? so you ____ 50 on both sides and that's how you find out what 'x' is

AZ:

what is the opposite of multiplication

rxcklesskaisher:

addition

NevaehJade6219:

its d!!

AZ:

no... addition and subtraction go hand in hand addition is the opposite of subtraction and vice versa if I give you 10 apples, and then I take away 10 apples that's adding and subtracting what's the opposite of multiplication then? it's the other thing we haven't mentioned yet

Yes you DIVIDE 50 on both sides

AZ:

wait what

rxcklesskaisher:

i mean 10

rxcklesskaisher:

not 100

ImmaQueen101:

ok so put the number where the x is 50(1)=50 50(0)=0 50(5)=250 50(10)=500 50(100)=5,000
