The multiplication property of equality could be used to solve which of the following equations?


(x + 2)(x - 3) = 0

m + 7 = -12

b ÷ (-2) = 18

-3 + y = 7

Verified Answer :

The third one; b÷(-2)=18

Answer:

b ÷ (-2) = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

find the equation that uses the multiplication property of equality

\((x + 2)(x - 3) = 0\)

To solve for x we set each factor =0. Here we use zero factor property

\(m + 7 = -12\)

To solve for m , we subtract 7 from both sides. Here we use subtraction property of equality.

b ÷ (-2) = 18

\(\frac{b}{-2} =18\)

HEre the expression has division. To remove the denominator we multiply both sides by -2. So we use multiplication property of equality.

\(-3 + y = 7\)

To solve for y , we add 3 on both sides . WE use addition property of equality.
