Options:
1. Transitive
2. Substitution
3. Subtraction
4. Multiplication

Answer 1

The property of equality demonstrated from step a to step b is Multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

The property of equality demonstrated from step a to step b is Multiplication. When we multiply both sides of the equation x/2 = 5 by 2, we get x = 10.

Multiplication or division by the same number on both sides of an equation does not change equality.
