Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 9x = 99 \) using the multiplication property, we'll first isolate \( x \).

1. Divide both sides of the equation by 9:

\[
x = \frac{99}{9}
\]

2. Now, perform the division:

\[
x = 11
\]

So, the solution is \( x = 11 \).

**Check:**

To verify the solution, substitute \( x \) back into the original equation:

\[
9x = 99
\]

Substituting \( x = 11 \):

\[
9(11) = 99
\]

Calculating the left side:

\[
99 = 99
\]

The left side equals the right side, confirming that our solution is correct.

Thus, the solution is:

\[
\text{The solution is } x = 11.
\]
