Answer:

The correct answer is Option A: Multiplication Property of Equality

Explanation:

Given equation is:

(1)/(5)x+6 = 5

The given equation is a linear equation in one variable. Different equality properties are used to solve equations like these.

First of all the denominator with 1/5x has to be eliminated for which the whole equation will be multiplied by 5

$5 * (1)/(5)x + 5* 6 = 5*5\\x+30= 25$

This property is called multiplication property of equality.

Hence,

The correct answer is Option A: Multiplication Property of Equality
