Does anyone have the answers for the quiz on Unit 5: Lesson 5: Solving One-Step Equations by Multiplying/Dividing?
As an AI, I don't have access to specific quizzes or their answers. However, I can explain how to solve one-step equations by multiplying or dividing, which might help you find the answers yourself.
To solve a one-step equation involving multiplication, follow these steps:
1. Start by identifying the variable you need to solve for. It is typically represented by a letter, such as x or y.
2. Determine if the equation requires multiplication or division to isolate the variable. In this case, we'll focus on multiplication.
3. Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of the variable. The reciprocal is found by flipping the fraction, or by dividing 1 by the coefficient.
4. Simplify both sides of the equation by performing any necessary calculations.
5. After simplifying, the variable should be isolated on one side of the equation. Determine the value of the variable.
For example, let's say we have the equation: 3x = 15.
We want to isolate x, so we'll divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get:
(3x)/3 = 15/3.
Simplifying further, we have:
x = 5.
To solve a one-step equation involving division, the steps are similar:
1. Identify the variable you need to solve for.
2. Determine if the equation requires multiplication or division to isolate the variable. In this case, we'll focus on division.
3. Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable.
4. Simplify both sides of the equation by performing any necessary calculations.
5. The variable should be isolated on one side of the equation, allowing you to determine its value.
For example, consider the equation: 10y = 30.
To isolate y, we'll divide both sides of the equation by 10:
(10y)/10 = 30/10.
Simplifying further, we have:
y = 3.
By using these steps, you should be able to solve the equations in your Unit 5 Lesson 5 quiz. Remember to always check your solutions by plugging them back into the original equation to ensure they are correct.
