3. 3 Properties of Equality PropertyDefinition Addition Property of Equality The same real number or algebraic expression may be added to both sides of an equation without changing the equation’s solution set. Multiplication Property of Equality The same nonzero real number may multiply both sides of an equation without changing the equation’s solution set. In this section, we introduce an additional property of equality for use in solving equations. This new property is the Multiplication Property of Equality.

7. Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 7 Since we know that division is the multiplication by the multiplicative inverse, we can divide both sides of an equation by the same number without changing the equation’s solution. Dividing Both Sides by the Same Nonzero Number

Because the equation means –1x = 4, we have not yet obtained a solution. The solution of an equation is obtained from the form x = some number. The equation –x = 4 is not yet in this form. We still need to isolate x. We can do this by multiplying or dividing both sides of the equation by –1.

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 23 Solving Linear Equations 2) Collect variable terms on one side and constant terms on the other side. 5 + x + 7x = 13 – 7x + 7xAdd 7x to both sides CONTINUED 5 + 8x = 13Simplify 5 – 5 + 8x = 13 – 5 Subtract 5 from both sides 8x = 8 Simplify

24. Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 24 Solving Linear Equations 3) Isolate the variable and solve. CONTINUED 8x 8Divide both sides by 8 8 8 x = 1Simplify

25. Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 25 Solving Linear Equations 4) Check the proposed solution in the original equation.
