Solve.
1. 5x = 20
2. 7n = 84
3. 18 = y – 4
4. 21 = n + 3
x = 4
n = 12
y = 22
n = 18

5. Recall that multiplication and division are inverse operations
Recall that multiplication and division are inverse operations. If an equation contains division, solve it by multiplying on both sides to “undo” the division.

6. Additional Example 1A: Solving Division Equations
Solve the equation. Check your answer. x 7
= 5
x is divided by 7. x 7
= 5
7  x 7
= 7  5
Multiply both sides by 7 to undo the division.
x = 35
Check x 7
= 5 35 7
= 5 ?
Substitute 35 for x in the equation.
5 = 5 ? 
35 is the solution.

7. Additional Example 1B: Solving Division Equations
Solve the equation. Check your answer. p 6
13 =
p is divided by 6. p 6
13 =
6  p 6
6  13 =
Multiply both sides by 6 to undo the division.
78 = p
Check p 6
13 = ? 78 6
13 =
Substitute 78 for p in the equation.
13 = 13 ?
78 is the solution. 

11. height of pine height of aspen = 3
Additional Example 2: Application
At Elk Meadows Park an aspen tree is one- third the height of a pine tree.
height of pine
height of aspen = 3
The aspen tree is 14 feet tall. How tall is the pine tree?
Let h represent the height of the pine tree.
Substitute 14 for height of aspen. h is divided by 3. h 3
14 =
3  h 3
3  14 =
Multiply both sides by 3 to undo the division.
42 = h
The pine tree is 42 feet tall.

Jamie weighs one-half as much as her father.
father’s weight
Jamie’s weight = 2
Jamie weighs 95 pounds. How many pounds does her father weigh? f 2
95 =
 2 f 2
2  95 =
190 = f
Her father weighs 190 pounds.
