Question

The ________ states that if two values a and b are equal when you multiply each by the same value c, the products are equal

Answer 1

Answer:

The multiplication property of equality states that if two values a and b are equal when you multiply each by the same value c, the products are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication property of equality:

• It states that multiplying both sides of the the equation with the same constant or number then the truth value of the equation does not change.
• That is the equality still holds true.

So, if

$a = b$

Then, we can write by multiplication property of equality

$a=b\\\Rightarrow a\times c = b \times c\\\Rightarrow ac = bc$

Thus, the correct answer is

The multiplication property of equality states that if two values a and b are equal when you multiply each by the same value c, the products are equal.
