Divide by −2: To determine if an equation is equivalent to pq=98, we can perform the same operation on both sides of the original equation and see if we get the equation in question.Let's start with option (A): −2pq=−49.We divide both sides of the original equation pq=98 by −2.−2pq=−298−2pq=−49This matches option (A), so it is equivalent.
Divide by −7: Now let's check option (B): pq/(−7)=−14. We divide both sides of the original equation pq=98 by −7. pq/(−7)=98/(−7)pq/(−7)=−14 This matches option (B), so it is equivalent.
Divide by 2: Next, we check option (C): pq/2=49. We divide both sides of the original equation pq=98 by 2. pq/2=98/2pq/2=49 This matches option (C), so it is equivalent.
Divide by 14: Finally, we check option (D): pq/14=7. We divide both sides of the original equation pq=98 by 14. pq/14=98/14pq/14=7 This matches option (D), so it is equivalent.
