Section 2
How do we solve and check equations of the form ax = b?
How do zero and -1 as values for a and b affect the solution?

Multiplication Property of Equality
For all Real numbers m, n, and c…
If m = n, then cm = cn
This is saying that I can multiply an equality by anything,
as long as I multiply BOTH SIDES by the SAME THING

We can expand this to solve equations!
Example: 3x = 6
I choose to let c = 1/3
If we assume this is true then from the general form ax = b we
can say a = 3 and b = 6.
We need to find a value to multiply both sides by to get x
all by itself.3

Summarizing…
So…the trick is coming up with a something to multiply both sides of an equation.
To solve ax = b for x, multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of a!
AND THAT TRICK IS…

Solve!
-x = 2.9876
But –x = -1 • x does it not? Substitute!
We need x NOT –x !!!!
-1 • x = 2.9876
-1 • -1 • x = 2.9876 • -1
x = -2.9876
Let’s call this the “Gush” property so we can avoid showing this work!
