Solve for the Variable Involving Multiplication and Division
We use inverse operations to solve the equation for a variable.
For example, consider the equation 2a = 4.
Here, 2 is multiplied by a on the left side.
So, to find the value of a, we use inverse operation of multiplication, that is, division.
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:
