Solving Equations Using Multiplication and Division

Topics for Today:

We continued our discussion today about inverse operations are, and also further defined the term solution.  We will continue to follow the same processes to solve equations, even as they become more complicated, with more operations and steps.  Because we have to "undo" operations to isolate our variable (get it by itself), we must follow the order of operations, but IN REVERSE!

Vocabulary:

division property of equality, multiplication property of equality, solution
