Question

The following is an indirect proof of the Multiplication Property of Equality: For real numbers a, b, and c, if a = b, then ac = bc.

Assume ac ≠ bc. According to the given information, _____. By the Division Property of Equality, one can divide the same number from both sides of an equation without changing the equation. Therefore, ac over c does not equal bc over c. Through division, the c's cancel and a ≠ b. This contradicts the given information so ac = bc.

Answer 1

Which statement accurately completes the proof?

ac = bc

ac ≠ bc

a = b

a ≠ b

Answer 2

What's the other given info?
It's a=b

Answer 3

@nikato This was all the information the question gave.. My virtual school is notorious for wording questions extremely poorly. But thank you!

Answer 4

Oh, no. I wasn't really asking you? It's just that to fill in that blank, u should ask urs elf that question.
And ur welcome
