Analyze Expressions: Analyze the given expressions.The original equation is 21−66=p. Then, it is given that q(21−66)=qp.We need to identify which operation is applied to both sides of the original equation.
Identify Operation: Identify the operation used.The operation used is multiplication by q on both sides of the equation.21−66=p becomes q(21−66)=qp when multiplied by q on both sides.
Determine Property: Determine the property of equality.Since we are multiplying both sides of the equation by the same number q, we are using the Multiplication Property of Equality.
