Question

Consider the equation below and write an equivalent equation using the multiplication property of equality. (Hint: You're not being asked to completely solve for x here.) \frac{x}{3}+7=13 3 x ​ +7=13

Answer 1

Consider the equation below:

`(x)/(3) + 7 = 13`

We have to write an equivalent equation using the multiplication property of equality.

Multiplication property of equality states that:

" This property allows to multiply the same quantity by both sides of an equation".

Now, the equation is
`(x)/(3) + 7 = 13`

Let us multiply both sides of the equation by any number. Let it be '2'.

`2 * ((x)/(3) + 7) = 2 * 13`

`(2 * (x)/(3)) +(2 * 7) = 2 * 13`

`(2x)/(3) +14 =26` is the equivalent equation to the given equation.
