2.3 The Multiplication Property of Equality A. Using the Multiplication Property Multiplication Property of Equality: If a = b then ac = bc where a, b, c are any real numbers. Example1. Solve the following linear equations. 1. − 8 x = −24 y
2. = 2.5 − 11
− 5.8 x + 1.9 = −32.5 − 1.5 x 3. 4(4 x − 1) = −8 − (− 24 ) 4. B. Writing Algebraic Expressions Example2. Write each algebraic expression described. Simplify if possible. 1. If x represents the first of two consecutive even integers, express the sum of the two integers in terms of x. 2. If y represents the first of three consecutive odd integers, express the sum of the first and third integer in terms of y. 3. Houses on one side of a street are all numbered using consecutive integers. If the first house on the street is numbered x, write an expression in x for the sum of five house numbers in a row.
