What property allows us to solve an equation by performing identical mathematical operations on both sides?
What property allows us to solve an equation by performing identical mathematical operations on both sides?
- If we multiply both sides by different numbers, the balance remains undisturbed
- If we add a different number to each side, the balance remains undisturbed
- If we add the same number to one side and subtract the same number from the other side, the balance remains undisturbed
- If we add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides by the same number, the balance remains undisturbed (correct)
