Mathematical Terminology for Isolating Quadratic Terms

An HVAC technician is using the formula 58t2=40\frac{5}{8}t^2 = 40 to analyze temperature variance in a cooling system. To solve for tt using the Square Root Property, the technician first multiplies both sides of the equation by the fraction 85\frac{8}{5} to isolate the t2t^2 term. Identify the specific mathematical term that describes the relationship between the fraction 85\frac{8}{5} and the original coefficient 58\frac{5}{8}.
