Algebra.Com's Answer #820331 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! if you multiply both sides of an equation by the same number, the equality is preserved.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you have x + 5 = 6 \n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 3 to get: \n" ); document.write( "3x + 15 = 18\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the equality is preserved.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the left side of the equation is still equal to the right side of the equation.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in the first equation, solve for x to get: \n" ); document.write( "x = 1\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you get this by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in the second equation, solve for x to get: \n" ); document.write( "x = 1\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you get this by doing the following:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract 15 from both sides of the equation to get:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x = 3\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of the equation by 3 to geet:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 1\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "here's a reference\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "https://www.mathplanet.com/education/pre-algebra/inequalities-and-one-step-equations/different-ways-to-solve-equations\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i believe the property will state that, if you multiply both side of an equation by the same number, the equality is preserved, or something like that.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
