Which property should Remus use to solve the equation below?

7 q = 49
division property of equality
addition property of equality
subtraction property of equality
identity property of equality

1 answer

To solve the equation \(7q = 49\), Remus should use the division property of equality. This property states that if you divide both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number, the two sides remain equal. In this case, Remus would divide both sides by 7 to isolate \(q\):

\[ q = \frac{49}{7} = 7 \]

So, the correct choice is division property of equality.
