Question

I'm a bit confused on this one.

Multiplication Property of Equality
If 6x divided by 8 = 40, then _____.

Choices:

6x times 8 = 320
40 = 6x times 8
6x = 320
40 = 6x divided by 8

Please explain.

I think it is 6x = 320.

Answer 1

you are \(\huge \color{red}{\checkmark}\)

Answer 2

Thanks Hartnn! Could you please give me a brief explanation of the multiplication property of equality real quick? I just chose that because it made sense to me.

Answer 3

yes,you can multiply a non zero number on both sides, here you multiplies by 8

Answer 4

*multiplied

Answer 5

6x/8 * 8 = 40 * 8
6x = 40*8 = 620

Answer 6

*320

Answer 7

Would you mind confirming another question please? I got no responses before.

Answer 8

\[\frac{6x} 8 = 40\]multiplying both sides by 8\[\frac{6x} 8\times8=40\times8\]canceling and factoring \[\frac{6x} {\cancel{8}}\times\cancel8=4\times8\times10\]\[6x=32\times10\]\[6x=320\]

Answer 14

Name the Property of Equality that justifies this statement:
If p = q then p + s = q + s

oReflexive Property
oMultiplication Property
oSymmetric Property
oAddition Property

I think it is the Addition Property.

Thank you for the links!

Answer 15

yep

Answer 16

because u added s on both sides

Answer 17

Okay, thank you both very much! I greatly appreciate it!

Answer 18

welcome ^_^

Answer 19

@hartnn: Cool icon by the way. I like DBZ too. ^^

Answer 20

multiply both sides by a number \((8)\)
or
adding \((s)\) on both sides can be demonstrated with a pair of scales
