This article explains how to solve a mathematical equation that contains an unknown value. The first of two articles on solving for an unknown value, this article explains in simple, step‐by‐step instructions, how to solve the problem when the equation has only multiplication or division. The second article on solving for unknown values deals with equations that also contain addition and subtraction; that article appears in the March 1993 Opflow, p 10. This article is one of 13 in a series called Math in Chunks.
