Introduction to Solving Equations Using the Division and Multiplication Properties of Equality

A platter of various sliced meats, cheeses, and bread on a table with a candle in the middle of it, and a wine glass and silverware nearby. A dinner with friends often ends with a math problem.
While out for dinner with your friends, you decide to share a few appetizers. At the end of the meal, you want to split the bill evenly among the four of you. How much should each person pay? In this chapter, you'll learn how to solve equations using the Division and Multiplication Properties of Equality so you and your friends can accurately divide the bill.
