Question

For the equation 17h+6=40, select the appropriate property of equality to move the constant term to the right side of the equation.(20pt) A. Division Property of Equality- B. Subtraction Property of Equality - C. Multiplication Property of Equality- D. Addition Property of Equality

Answer 1

Option B.

Explanation:

The given equation is

`17h+6=40`

We need to find the property of equality to move the constant term to the right side of the equation.

In the given equation 6 is the constant term on the left side.

Using subtraction property of equality, subtract 6 from both sides.

`17h+6-6=40-6`

`17h=34`

So, the appropriate property of equality to move the constant term to the right side of the equation is Subtraction Property of Equality.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
