Respuesta :
there can be 2 properties u could use...
5x = 20.....division property...divide both sides by 5
x = 4
or
5x = 20....multiplication property...multiply both sides by 1/5
x = 20 * 1/5
x = 20/5
x = 4
5x = 20.....division property...divide both sides by 5
x = 4
or
5x = 20....multiplication property...multiply both sides by 1/5
x = 20 * 1/5
x = 20/5
x = 4
Use the division property of equality.
What you do to one side, you do to the other.
Divide 5 from both sides
5x/5 = 20/5
x = 20/5
x = 4
hope this helps
