Let n be the number picked each day. The equation is
4n = 52.
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate n:
n = 52 ÷ 4 = 13.
Property used: the Division Property of Equality (or equivalently, multiplying both sides by the multiplicative inverse 1/4). It says you may divide both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number and the equality still holds. Check: 4 · 13 = 52.
