Question

Equation A and Equation B are Equivalent Equations.A: -4(7j + 2) = 16B: 7j + 2 = -4Explain what was done to both sides of equation A to create equation B?

Answer 1

Divide both sides of equation A by -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation A.

`-4\mleft(7j+2\mright)=16`

If we divide both sides of (A) by -4:

`\begin{gathered} (-4\mleft(7j+2\mright))/(-4)=(16)/(-4) \\ 7j+2=-4 \end{gathered}`

The result obtained above is Equation B.

So, divide both sides of equation A by -4 to create equation B.
