Problem

Solve for x in the equation 5x − 3 = 2 using the multiplicative identity property.

2

Step

The given equation is

5x − 3 = 2

3

Step

Add 3 both sides of the equation:

5x - 3 + 3 = 2 + 3

5x = 5

4

Step

Symbolically, Multiplicative identity Property can be expressed as

a⋅1 = a, where a is any real number

5

Hint

Recognize that multiplying any expression by 1 does not change the expression.

6

Step

According to the multiplicative identity property

5x = 5 simplifies to x = 1

7

Solution

So, the final simplified expression is x = 1.

Choices

9

Choice-A

This step is incorrect because by applying the Multiplicative identity property we got the result as x = 1, not x = 0

Wrong x = 0

10

Choice-B

Using the Multiplicative Identity property, x equals 1, confirming the accuracy of this solution

Correct x = 1

11

Choice-C

The response is wrong because the application of the Multiplicative Identity yields x = 1, not x = 2

Wrong x = 2

12

Choice-D

Multiplicative identity property yields x = 1, not x = 3, making this step incorrect

Wrong x = 3
