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

Respuesta :

If we take both sides of the equation [tex] \frac{1}{3} x=5 [/tex] and multiply either expression by 3, the equality becomes

[tex] 3\cdot\frac{1}{3}x=3\cdot5\\x=15 [/tex]

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.
