Question

The property stating that both sides of an equation _ by the same nonzero number does not change the equation.

Answer 1

The property you are referring to is known as the **Multiplication Property of Equality**. This property states that if you multiply both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number, the equality is maintained. In mathematical terms, if \( a = b \), then \( a \times c = b \times c \) for any nonzero number \( c \).
