Question

4 The first and second steps to solve the equation +5= 20 are shown below. 5 +5-5= 20-5 153 Which property was applied in the second step? Addition Property of Equality Subtraction Property of Equality O Multiplication Property of Equality O Division Property of Equality

Answer 1

The multiplication property of equality states that if we multiply both sides of an equation, equality remains the same.

In this case, we have a multiplication :

3x/5 (5/3)= 15 (5/3)

We multiply both sides by 5/3, and equality remains the same.
