Question

What conclusion can be based on the given statement?

x is a number such that 7x = 7y

x = y
x = 1
y = 1

Answer 1

7x = 7y

given 7 = 7
so x = y to make statement becomes true that 7x = 7y

so answer

x = y

Answer 2

Option 1.

Explanation:

Consider the given equation is

`7x=7y`

where x is number.

Using division property of equality, divide both sides by 7.

`(7x)/(7)=(7y)/(7)`

Cancel out common factors.

`x=y`

If x is a number such that 7x = 7y, then we reached on the conclusion that x=y.

Therefore, the correct option is 1.
