Answers
A because both result in the equation 8 x = 400, which simplifies to x = 5
B because both result in the equation 8 x = 400, which simplifies to x = 50
C because both result in the equation 40 x = 80, which simplifies to x = 2
D because both result in the equation 40 x = 80, which simplifies to x = 20
