Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, the Multiplication Property of Equality wouldn't help us because it tells us we can always multiply the same quantity times both sides of an equation.

Since we want to be able to get x by itself, multiplying both sides

of the equation by the same quantity wouldn't help us.

Instead, we would use the Division Property of Equality.

In order to get from the statement 5x = -20  to the statement where x

is isolated, we must divide both sides of the statement, 5x = -20, by 5.

So we have x = -4.

So this statement uses the Division Property of Equality.
