Solve the equation 5x = 5 using the multiplicative identity property.

Step 1

The given equation is 5x = 5.
Apply Multiplicative Identity: Multiply both sides by the multiplicative identity (1) to maintain equality.
\$1 \times 5"x" = 1 \times 5\$

Explanation:

This step ensures the equation remains equivalent.

Step 2

Simplify both sides and isolate x.
⇒ 5x = 5
⇒ x = 1

Explanation:

The solution to the equation 5x = 5 using the multiplicative identity property is x = 1.
