Multiplication
Solving an equation that contains multiplication or
division is similar to solving an equation that
contains addition or subtraction. Use inverse
operations to undo the operations on the variable.
Solve the equation.
Example 1A: Solving Equations by Using

Since k is multiplied by 15,
k = 5
75 75

substitute 5 for k in the
original equation.
15k = 75
15(5) 75
Check 15k = 75
Remember that dividing is the same as
multiplying by the reciprocal. When
solving equations, you will sometimes
find it easier to multiply by a reciprocal
instead of dividing. This is often true
when an equation contains fractions.
Solve the equation.

Example 4: Application
Write an equation to represent the relationship.
Ciro puts of the money he earns from mowing
lawns into a college education fund. This year
Ciro added $285 to his college education fund.
Write and solve an equation to find how much
money Ciro earned mowing lawns this year.

4
one-fourth times earnings equals college fund
m = $1140
Substitute 285 for c. Since m is divided
by 4, multiply both sides by 4 to undo
the division.
Ciro earned $1140 mowing lawns.
Check it Out! Example 4
Write an equation to represent the
relationship.
The distance in miles from the airport that a plane
should begin descending, divided by 3, equals the
plane's height above the ground in thousands of
feet. A plane began descending 45 miles from the
airport. Use the equation to find how high the
plane was flying when the descent began.
Distance divided by 3 equals height in thousands of feet
15 = h
Substitute 45 for d.
The plane was flying at 15,000 ft when the descent began.
