If you divide both sides of an equation by some non-zero number then they remain the same. The non-zero number part is added because we cannot divide by zero.
Example:
2x+2=10
Divide by sides by 2 and we have
x+1=5 which is the same as the original equation.
The solution to both is x=4

you can just use multilecation to do division The division POE (property of equality) Allows you to divide each side of an equation by the same number. If I were solving for x in this equation, I would use the division POE -2x = 4 /-2 /-2 x = -2

The reflexive property of relations is not the same as the addition property of equality.
The multiplication property of equality is, as the name suggests, a property. It does not require solving!
