Adding the same number c to both sides of a = b leads to which result?
Aa + c = b + c
Ba + c = b
Ca - c = b + c
Da = b + c
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. a + c = b + c
1. Adding the same number to equal quantities keeps them equal.
2. So a + c = b + c.
3. The other choices change only one side or use opposite signs.
