Multippcative Property of Equapty With Whole Numbers

In an equation, the multippcative property of equapty states that if we multiply or spanide both sides of an equation by the same number, the equapty of both the sides is maintained.

This property holds true for whole numbers as well.

For example: Solve for x, 4x = 32

In the equation 4x = 32, we solve for x as follows.

Using multippcative property of equapty, we spanide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate the variable x.

4x ÷ 4 = 32 ÷ 4

So, x = 8

Solve the following equation using multippcative property of equapty, 4x = 28

Solution

Step 1:

Given equation 4x = 28

Using multippcative property of equapty, multiply both sides by $frac{1}{4}$ to isolate the variable x.

Step 2:

4x × $frac{1}{4}$ = 28 × $frac{1}{4}$ = 7

So, x = 7

Solve the following equation using multippcative property of equapty, $frac{y}{6}$ = 3

Solution

Step 1:

Given equation $frac{y}{6}$ = 3

Using multippcative property of equapty, multiply both sides by 6 to isolate the variable y.

Step 2:

$frac{y}{6}$ × 6 = 3 × 6 = 18

So, y = 18
