david say: The explanation depends on what class you are taking.
/// simple algebra classes call this the division property of equality and, if a not = 0, then it is true.
=======================================...
More advanced college alg. classes may not like division. They define 1/a as the multiplicative inverse of a with the same condition ,, a not = 0.
... insteadof dividing by a, these classes say that they are multiplying by the mult. inverse. ... basically giving the same result.
... so what class are you in?
