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

We can divide both sides of the equation by 7, which gives us x = y.

The first answer (x=y) is correct. :)

Answer 2

Answer: x = y

Explanation:

The given statement : x is a number such that 7x = 7y

When we divide 7 on the both sides of the above equation [By using division property of equality], we get

`x=y`

Hence, the conclusion can be based on the given statement is "
`x = y`"

• Division property of equality says that If we divide each side of an equation with the same nonzero number we get an equivalent equation.
