Step 1 — Study the elements. A={5,10,15,20}A = \{5, 10, 15, 20\}. Each is obtained by multiplying 5 by 1,2,3,41, 2, 3, 4 respectively, so every element is a multiple of 5.

Step 2 — Find the bound. The largest element is 20; the next multiple, 25, is excluded. So the rule should cap at x≤20x \le 20.

Step 3 — Write the rule and verify. Testing x=5,10,15,20x = 5, 10, 15, 20 against "multiple of 5, x≤20x \le 20" confirms all four pass, and 25 correctly fails.

✓Final answer

A={x:x∈N,x is a multiple of 5,x≤20}A = \{x : x \in \mathbb{N}, x \text{ is a multiple of } 5, x \le 20\}
