Hello,
We know that if we make the same operation on both sides, we don't affect the equation:
For example:
Do you see? we add 2 on both sides and we don't affect the equality
We can do the same with the multiplication, for example
4=4 (i'll multiply both sides by 1/2)
Now, we do exactly the same in your excercise:
