Answer:

The property used "Multiplication property of equality"

A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: If x = 4, then 5x = 20

We are given an equation x=4

We need to make 5x=20

The coefficient of x in first equation is 1 but in second equation is 5.

So, If we multiply both sides by 5 in x=4 equation

\(x=4\)

Multiplication property of equality

\(5\cdot x=5\cdot 4\)

\(5x=20\)

Hence, The property used "Multiplication property of equality"
