Provide an appropriate response.In the Multiplication Rule for solving equations, explain why each side of the equation must be multiplied or divided by the same nonzero number.

What will be an ideal response?


Multiplying both sides by zero would yield the equation  which would not be equivalent to the original equation. Division by zero is undefined.
