What is the Multiplication Property of Equality?

  • The multiplication property states that to balance an equation, both sides of the equation should be multiplied by the same value to solve an equation.

Given, 2/3x = 16

  • Multiply both sides by 3/2

2/3x × 3/2 = 16 × 3/2

x = 24

Therefore, applying the multiplication property of equality, the number that both sides of the equation must be multiplied by is: D. 3/2.
