What is the next step after subtracting 82,100 from both sides?

• Subtract 31,600 from both sides

• Add 31,600 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 31,600

• Divide both sides by 31,600

What is the purpose of dividing both sides by 31,600?

• To simplify the equation

• To find the value of D

• To eliminate the variable

• To add more terms

What is the quotient when dividing 5,544 by 31,600?

• 3.34

• 2.34

• 1.34

• 0.34

How do we verify the solution of the equation?
