John multiplies one side of the equation 20 + 48 = 68 by a number s. What does he need to do balance the equation?

Sagot :

hello!

In order to balance the equation, John should multiply the second side of the equation by s.

Why?

Remember the Golden Rule of Algebra:-

[tex]\bigstar{\boxed{\sf{Whatever~you~do~to~one~side,~you~do~to~the~other.}}[/tex]

So if you multiply 1 side of the equation by s, you multiply the second side by s.

Please tell John about the Golden Rule of Algebra ;)
