Solve the following equation for
.

Solve the following equation for .

In order to solve a one step equation, we want to isolate the variable. To do this, we pay special attention to what is being done to the variable. In this case we are multiplying the variable by
. To "undo" this, we use the inverse of multiplication, which is division; thus we divide by
on both sides. Note that we are dividing by
since that is what is being multiplied; don't be tricked into dividing by
