Exercise 11 Page 141

Use the Division Property of Equality.

D

Practice makes perfect

We are given the equation and we want to describe how to solve it. 4n = 12To solve the equation we need to remove the multiplication by 4 from left-hand side of the equation. We will use the Division Property of Equality.

Division Property of Equality

Dividing each side of an equation by the same number produces an equivalent equation.

Let's divide both sides of the equation by 4.

4n = 12
DivEqn

.LHS /4.=.RHS /4.

4n/4 = 12/4
CancelCommonFac

Cancel out common factors

4n/4 = 12/4
SimpQuot

Simplify quotient

n = 12/4
CalcQuot

Calculate quotient

n = 3

We solved the equation by dividing each side by 4. This corresponds to option D.
