Solution

The correct options are
A

The same numbers are added to both sides of the equation


B

We multiply or divide both the sides of the equation by the same non-zero numbers


The solution of the equation remains unchanged if the same numbers are added to both sides of the equation.
Also, when we multiply or divide both the sides of the equation by the same non-zero number, the solution remains unchanged.

For example, in the equation x + 2y = 3, if we add 4 to both sides of the equation, the new equation will be x + 2y + 4 = 7. The values of x and y that satisfies the original equation will satisfy the new equation obtained as well.
