Question

For equation r4=16, select the appropriate property of equality to move the coefficient to the right side of the equation. . A. Subtraction Property of Equality . B. Addition Property of Equality . C. Division Property of Equality . D. Multiplication Property of Equality

Answer 1

DIVISION PROPERTY OF EQUALITY

Explanation:

Given the equation r4 = 16,wm we can rewrite the equation as 4r = 16

The coefficient at the left hand side of the equation that we are to move to rge right is 4 (the number attached to the r variable). To do this we are going to apply the Division property of equality. This property is a property where both sides of an equation is divided through by the same constant without affecting the equality sign or by still keeping the equation.

To move the coefficient of r to the other side, we will divide both sides of the equation by 4 as shown;

4r/4 = 16/4

r = 4×4/4

r = 4

Hence the property that is used to move the coefficient (4) to the other side of the equation is the DIVISION PROPERTY OF EQUALITY.
