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


`(x)/(5)` =2 → X = 10

Answer 1

The Multiplicative Property of Equality

Step-by-step 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,

`(x)/(5)=2`

When we multiply both sides by 5, we get;

`5* (x)/(5)=2* 5`

`\Rightarrow x=10`
