Step Justification 1/5x+6=5 Given
x + 30 = 25 ???
x = −5 Subtraction Property of Equality

A.Multiplication Property of Equality
B.Distributive Property
C.Addition Property of Equality
D.Division Property of Equality​

Answer 1

A. Multiplication Property of Equality

Explanation:

Answer 2

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
