Multiplication Property of Equality---- If 6x divided by 8 = 40, then______

A.) 6x * 8=320
B.) 40=6x*8
C.) 6x=320
D.)40=6x divided by 8
whats the corrects answer and why?? plz help

Answer 1

Option C.

Explanation:

Multiplication property of equality states that "if a number is multiplied to one side of the equation then other side of the equation should be multiplied with the same number".

The given equation is
`(6x)/(8)=40`

By the multiplication property of equality,

`(6x)/(8)* 8=40* 8`

6x = 320

Option C will be the correct option.

Answer 2

Option C.) 6x=320

Explanation:

we know that

The Multiplication Property of Equality states that if you multiply both sides of an equation by the same number, the sides remain equal

we have

`(6x)/(8)=40`

Apply the multiplication property of equality

Multiply by 8 both sides

`(6x)/(8)(8)=40(8)`

`6x=320`

therefore

The answer is the Option C
