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:

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