Question

While solving the equation $\frac{x}{3}=-2$, when '3' is taken to the right side of the equality sign, it becomes a multiplier.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

When a number crosses the 'equal to' sign, its sign changes.
+ becomes -
- becomes +
$\times$ becomes $÷$
$÷$ becomes $\times$
As 3 divides $x$ on the left side, when it is taken to the other side, it gets multiplied by the number on RHS which is -2.
Therefore, the given statement is correct.
