To solve the equation \( 9 = \frac{x}{5} \), you should perform the operation of multiplication. Specifically, you would multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to isolate \( x \).
Here's how it works:
-
Start with the equation: \[ 9 = \frac{x}{5} \]
-
Multiply both sides by 5: \[ 9 \times 5 = \frac{x}{5} \times 5 \]
-
This simplifies to: \[ 45 = x \]
So, the correct response is Multiplication.
