Question

1. which property of equality would you use to solve the equation 8n = 16?

Explanation:

To solve the equation \(8n = 16\), we need to isolate the variable \(n\). The equation is in the form \(a\times n = b\) (where \(a = 8\) and \(b = 16\)). The Division Property of Equality states that if we divide both sides of an equation by the same non - zero number, the two sides remain equal. So, we divide both sides of \(8n=16\) by 8. Mathematically, \(\frac{8n}{8}=\frac{16}{8}\), which simplifies to \(n = 2\). So the property of equality used here is the Division Property of Equality.

Answer:

Division Property of Equality
