Q. Select all of the equations below that are equivalent to:pq=17Use properties of equality.Multi-select Choices:(A) pq⋅−5=−85(B) −4pq=−72(C) pq⋅4=68(D) −4pq=−68
Apply Properties of Equality: To determine if an equation is equivalent to pq=17, we can apply properties of equality to pq=17 and see if we can transform it into the given equations without changing the equality.
Choice (A) Transformation: For choice (A), we multiply both sides of pq=17 by −5 to see if it results in pq⋅−5=−85.Calculation: 17×−5=−85pq ⋅−5=−85 is equivalent to pq=17 when multiplied by −5.
Choice (B) Transformation: For choice (B), we multiply both sides of pq=17 by −4 to see if it results in −4pq=−72.Calculation: 17×−4=−68−4pq=−68 is the correct transformation, not −4pq=−72.
