please help :(
yo
whats you question
Select the correct reason for the numbered statement. Statement 2 A. Multiplication Property of Equality B. Inverse Property of Multiplication C. Division Property of Equality D. Identity Property of Multiplication
b
hey shahi i was gonna say that
I assume you got the reason for statement 1) GIVEN for statement 2, notice they are multiplying both sides by C
It is almost common sense, but people have a reason why it's ok to multiply both sides of an equation by the same number (and it stays equal) http://www.onemathematicalcat.org/algebra_book/online_problems/mult_prop_eq.htm
Ok Thanks
Alright
It's good for this idea to sink in, because in algebra we use it all the time to solve equations.
can u help with 1 more please
please make a new post.
So to finish, the reason we can do step 2 is because we use the multiplication property of equality which is just a goofy way to say: if you multiply both sides of an equation by the *same* number, the equality stays true.
oh ok
