How do you solve linear equations with multiplication and division?

To solve linear equations involving multiplication and division, first isolate the variable by performing inverse operations. If the equation includes multiplication (e.g., ( ax = b )), divide both sides by ( a ) to solve for ( x ). If it includes division (e.g., ( \frac{x}{a} = b )), multiply both sides by ( a ) to isolate ( x ). Always perform the same operation on both sides of the equation to maintain equality.
