Question

Solving one-step equation by multiplication and division 1. -6m = 72 2. 5x = -303. n/3 = 214. y/-18 = -6

Answer 1

We want to solve the given one-step equations by multiplication and division

1. -6m = 72

Divide both sides by -6

`\begin{gathered} (-6m)/(-6)=(72)/(-6) \\ \end{gathered}`

m = -12

2. 5x = -30

Divide both sides by 5

`(5x)/(5)=(-30)/(5)`

x = -6

3. n/3 = 21

Multiply both sides by 3

`(n)/(3)*3=21*3`

n = 63

4.

`(y)/(-18)=-6`

Multiply both sides by -18

`(y)/(-18)*-18=-6*-18`

y = 108
