Solving One-Step Equations: Multiplication and Division

Question 1 • SC-Mathematics 6

Which steps would you take to solve this equation? Check all that apply.4p = 12

Answer
A
Divide by 4 on both sides of the equation.
B
Divide by 12 on both sides of the equation.
C
= 1 and = 3, so p = 3.
D
Substitute 12 for p and multiply to check the solution.
E
Substitute 3 for p and multiply to check the solution.

Explanation

Divide both sides of 4p = 12 by 4 to isolate p. Since 4 ÷ 4 = 1 and 12 ÷ 4 = 3, this gives p = 3, as choice C shows. Check by substituting 3 for p: 4 × 3 = 12, so the solution works.
