These worksheets teach your students how to solve for variables in multiplication and division equations.

The work here concentrates on learning to decipher variables in algebraic expressions that are being multiplied and divided. Equations involve fractions, negative numbers, area and perimeter, and more. We try to pair the product and quotient operations in the use of equations. These are the most common operations taking place within equations. A full mastery of this subject will greatly reward you on future math topics.

The worksheets shown below demonstrate how to write out and solve equations involving multiplication and division with unknown variables.
