If Kelia's second step is to multiply both sides of an equation by 4, it implies that she had an equation in which multiplying by 4 would be a logical next step.
Generally, this could happen in a couple of scenarios:
-
If she has an equation that originally has a fraction. For instance, if she started with \( \frac{x}{4} = k \) (where \( k \) is any constant), then multiplying both sides by 4 leads to \( x = 4k \).
-
If the equation does not have any fractions, and she's preparing to isolate \( x \). An example could be \( x + c = d \), where she may want to eliminate a constant on the left side.
Without specific details on what equation she started with, the exact equation cannot be accurately determined. However, possible candidates that would require multiplying by 4 in the second step could include:
- \( \frac{x}{4} = k \)
Please provide additional context or details for further assistance!
