Exercise 1 Page 270

Use the Division Property of Equality to eliminate the multiplication.

x=9

Practice makes perfect

To solve the equation, we have to isolate x on one side. Using the Division Property of Equality, we will divide both sides of the equation by 4. This will eliminate the multiplication and isolate x.

4x=36

.LHS /4.=.RHS /4.

4x/4=36/4
