5. What property of equality is used to transform the equation from the first step to the second step?

$\frac{x}{5}$ =2 → X = 10

Answer 1

ANSWER

The Multiplicative Property of Equality

EXPLANATION

The Multiplicative Property of Equality allows us to multiply both sides of the given equation by the same quantity.

So for the given equation,

$\frac{x}{5}=2$

When we multiply both sides by 5, we get;

$5\times \frac{x}{5}=2\times 5$

$\Rightarrow x=10$
