Solving for the variable (Multiplication and Division)

States that 2 sides of an equation stay equal when the same amount is added to both sides of the equation.

Example: (5+3)+2=8 +2

states that when you subtract the same amount from both sides of an equation, the two sides of the equation stay equal

Example: 5+3=8

5+3-2=8-2

states that when you multiply the same amount from both sides of an equation, the two sides of the equation stay equal

Example: 5+3=8

states that when you divide the same non zero amount, the two sides of the equation stay equal

Example: 5+3=8

(5+3) /2 =8 /2
