Question

Select the property of equality used to arrive at the conclusion. if 1/3 x=5 then x=15 the multiplication property of equality the addition property of equality the subtraction property of equality

Answer 1

If we take both sides of the equation
`(1)/(3) x=5` and multiply either expression by 3, the equality becomes

`3\cdot(1)/(3)x=3\cdot5\\x=15`

Multiplication of both sides of an equality by the same number keeps the equality true, and we call this property the multiplication property of equality.
