Q. Select all of the equations below that are equivalent to:\newline20=pq-20 = pq\newlineUse properties of equality.\newline\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 60=pq360 = pq \cdot -3\newline(B) 40=2pq40 = -2pq\newline(C) 100=pq5100 = pq \cdot -5\newline(D) 80=4pq80 = -4pq
  1. Identify Equation & Operation: Identify the original equation and the operation needed to check equivalency.\newlineOriginal equation: 20=pq-20 = pq. To find equivalent equations, we need to apply the same operation to both sides of the equation.
  2. Check Option (A): Check option (A) 60=pq360 = pq \cdot -3. Apply multiplication by 3-3 to the original equation: 20×3=60-20 \times -3 = 60. This results in 60=pq60 = pq, not 60=pq360 = pq \cdot -3.
