Question

How do you solve equations using multiplication and division

Answer 1

To properly answer this I would need to know what the problem is.

However, to multiply you must figure out how many times you add one number to itself. For example, 3 x 4 is three added to itself four times. 3 x 4 = 12 and 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12.

To divide you must figure out how many times one number can go into another. For example, 15 divided by 3 is seeing how many times 3 must be added to itself to equal 15. 15 divided by 3 = 5 and 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15. (There are five threes added together to get 15, which is how we know the answer to the equation is 5.)

I'm not entirely sure if this is what you wanted or not, again, I would need to see the entire problem to figure this out.

Answer 2

In order to move a number that is multiplied or divided by the variable, you must do the inverse to both sides. That means, if the number is multiplied, you must divide it by both sides. If it's divided, you must multiply it by both side. steps so that you can apply them to more complex problems.
