2. Multiplication Property of Equality
Multiply both sides of an equation by the same number, and the statement will still be true.

3. Example 1
Solve the equation h/2 = 13. Check your answer.

4. Division Property of Equality
Divide both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number, and the statement will still be true.
