Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is multiplication with unknowns? (Definition)
Multiplication with unknown(s) is a mathematical operation where at least one of the factors is an unknown variable, usually represented by a letter like $ x $
How to solve a multiplication with dCode?
The multiplication solving is made with the dCode equation solver. Multiplication (or product) equations use the * multiplication operator (asterisk)
Do not use x which is a letter, so a variable, instead use the symbol * or the multiplication cross ×, nothing else.
Example: $ x*2=10 \iff x=5 $
Indicate the variable with a letter (like x or y, do not use ?) and note it as unknown, the solver will give the subtraction result either in the form of integer, of fraction, or in numerical form.
How to solve a system with multiple multiplications?
Indicate several lines of equations based on multiplications with the same variable(s). Or, separate the multiplications with the AND logical operator: &&.
How to read a multiplication?
The sign of multiplication can be read times or 'multiplied', it is sometimes implied and therefore omitted.
Example: 5y for 5 times y
