We get Equation B from Equation A by: D) Multiply/divide only one side by a non-zero constant.
In order to evaluate and solve this equation, we would have to apply the PEMDAS rule, where mathematical operations within the parenthesis (grouping symbols) are first of all evaluated, followed by exponent, and then multiplication or division from the left side of the equation to the right.
Lastly, the mathematical operations of addition or subtraction would be performed from left to right.
Based on the information provided, we solve the following mathematical equation by taking the square of both sides of the equation:
3(x+2) = 18 ....equation A.
x + 2 = 18 ....equation B.
In order to obtain equation B from equation, we would have to divide the left-hand side by a non-zero constant such as 3.
Complete Question:
A. 3(x+2) = 18
B. x + 2 = 18
How can we get Equation B from Equation A? Choose 1 answer:
(Choice A) Add/subtract the same quantity to/from both sides
(Choice B) Add/subtract a quantity to/from only one side
(Choice C) Multiply/divide both sides by the same non-zero constant
(Choice D) Multiply/divide only one side by a non-zero constant
