Question:
Solve each equation and check your solutions. Part a: 6 times m equals negative 54. Part b: n divided by 8 equals negative 3. Part c: negative 5 times p equals 35.
Solving One-Step Equations | Multiplication & Division
This lesson covers solving one-step equations where a variable is multiplied or divided by a constant. Students learn to apply inverse operations — division to undo multiplication, and multiplication to undo division — and then verify each solution by substituting it back into the original equation.
In this lesson, you will learn to:
• Apply inverse operations to isolate a variable in one-step multiplication and division equations
• Solve equations with positive and negative coefficients or divisors
• Check solutions by substituting the found value back into the original equation
• Recognize that multiplying or dividing by a negative number changes the sign of
