Answer:
Multiplication property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Step 4: b = -27/8
Required
Which property justifies it?
First, it should be noted that step 4 is a result of step 3
When step 3 is multiplied by 3/8 on both sides, we have step 4;
i.e.
[tex]\frac{8}{3b} = -9[/tex]
[tex]\frac{8}{3b} * \frac{3}{8} = -9 * \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
[tex]b = -9 * \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
[tex]b = \frac{-9 * 3}{8}[/tex]
[tex]b = \frac{-27}{8}[/tex]
The property that allows 3/8 be multiplied on both sides is referred to as the multiplication property of equality
