Tarriq begins to solve the equation 50 + 2x = –190.


50 + 2x = –190


50 – 50 + 2x = –190 – 50


2x = –240


To finish solving the equation using the multiplication property of equality, which factor must Tarriq use?


A)-2

B)-1/2

C)1/2

D)2

Verified Answer :

Answer:

the best answer is b   -1/2

Tarriq must use "2" as the Multiplication Property of equality.

What is the Multiplication Property of Equality?

The Multiplication Property of Equality for any numbers a, b, and c, If we multiply both sides of an equation by the identical number, we always have equivalency.

Rearrange unfamiliar terms to the left side of the equation then

2x = -190 - 50

Calculate the sum or difference

2x = -240

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable 2, and we get

x = -240 \($ \div\) 2

Calculate the product or quotient then we get

x = -120

Therefore, the correct answer is option D) 2.
