  1. 2.3a The Multiplication Principle of Equality 1. Solve linear equations using the multiplication principle. 2. Solve linear equations using both the addition and the multiplication principles.

  2. Review 6 1 1 1 1 1 6 Multiplicative Inverses (Reciprocals) 1

  3. Multiplication Principle of Equality Multiplying by ½ and dividing by 2 are equivalent! The Multiplication Principle of Equality If a = b, then ac = bc for all real numbers a, b, and c, where c 0.

  4. Multiplication Principle of Equality • Multiply both sides of the equation by the multiplicative inverse of the coefficient • or • Divide both sides by the coefficient. 1 2 If the coefficient is a fraction, multiply by the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal). 2 1 1 1 1 1 If the coefficient is an integer, divide.

  6. Addition and Multiplication Principle of Equality • To Solve Linear Equations • 1. Simplify both sides of the equation as needed. • a. Distribute to clear parentheses. • b. Combine like terms. • 2. Use the addition principle so that all variable terms are on one side of the equation. • 3. Use the addition principle so that all constants are on the other side. • 4. Use the multiplication principle to isolate the variable. Use the addition principle BEFORE the multiplication principle!!!
