    ๐Ÿ”ข One-Step Division Equations: These are equations where you need to perform only one division operation to find the value of the variable. โž— General Form: $\frac{x}{a} = b$, where $x$ is the variable, $a$ is the divisor, and $b$ is the quotient. ๐Ÿ’ก Solving: To solve, multiply both sides of the equation by $a$: $x = a \times b$. โž• Example: If $\frac{x}{5} = 3$, then $x = 5 \times 3 = 15$.
