Answer:

The Multiplication  property

Step-by-step explanation:

The Multiplication  property by a constant was used

For real numbers a and b, and c different from zero:

If c is positive and [tex]a <b[/tex] then [tex]a*\frac{1}{c} <b*\frac{1}{c}[/tex].

If c is negative and [tex]a <b[/tex] then [tex]a*\frac{1}{c} >b*\frac{1}{c}[/tex].

In this case we have

[tex]5x<100[/tex]  Then  [tex]\frac{5}{5}x<\frac{100}{5}[/tex]

Finally

[tex]x<20[/tex]
