Q. Select all of the equations below that are equivalent to:\newlinepq=17pq = 17\newlineUse properties of equality.\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) pq5=85pq \cdot -5 = -85\newline(B) 4pq=72-4pq = -72\newline(C) pq4=68pq \cdot 4 = 68\newline(D) 4pq=68-4pq = -68
  1. Apply Properties of Equality: To determine if an equation is equivalent to pq=17pq = 17, we can apply properties of equality to pq=17pq = 17 and see if we can transform it into the given equations without changing the equality.
  2. Choice (A) Transformation: For choice (A), we multiply both sides of pq=17pq = 17 by 5-5 to see if it results in pq5=85pq \cdot -5 = -85.\newlineCalculation: 17×5=8517 \times -5 = -85\newlinepq 5=85\cdot -5 = -85 is equivalent to pq=17pq = 17 when multiplied by 5-5.
  3. Choice (B) Transformation: For choice (B), we multiply both sides of pq=17pq = 17 by 4-4 to see if it results in 4pq=72-4pq = -72.\newlineCalculation: 17×4=6817 \times -4 = -68\newline4pq=68-4pq = -68 is the correct transformation, not 4pq=72-4pq = -72.
