One-step multiplication and division equations
The question
x ÷ 6 = 3
x ÷ 6 = 3
x ÷ 6=3
x ÷ 6 × 6=3 × 6
x=18
x ÷ 6=3
x=18
- x was divided by 6, so undo it by multiplying.
- Multiply both sides by 6. The left becomes just x; the right becomes 3 × 6 = 18.
- Check it: 18 ÷ 6 = 3. So x = 18.
How it works.
- 01
