Explanation:

Required

State with property that describes the question

I'll answer this question using the following instances;

`1.\ (x)/(3) = 1`

`2.\ 3x = 1`

For the first expression, we multiply both sides by 3

`3 * (x)/(3) = 1 * 3`

`x = 1 * 3`

`x = 3`

For the second; divide both sides by 2

`(3x)/(3) = (1)/(3)`

`x = (1)/(3)`

The property applied in both expressions is the identity property of multiplication
