Division Principle Worksheet
 Lesson 1
                                      

                                                            Problem:                   Find value of the variable.

                                                                                                            y x 3 = 18

                                                            Step 1:                    If we multiply or divide both sides by same number, balance is maintained.

 

                                  

                                                            Step 2:                    We divide both sides by 5, y remains unchanged

                                                                                    

                                                                                                            = Y x 3 ÷ 3 = 18 ÷ 3

 

                                                                                                = Y = 6                                                                            

Step 3:                    The answer is:  6

                                                         

                                                                                                          

 

                                                            Try two practice problems:   Fill in the blank with correct sign.

                                                                              

A. y x 5 = 35

 

 

 

B. a x 4 = 24
