An equation is shown below:
5(2x – 3) = 5
Part A: How many solutions does this equation have?
Part B: What are the solutions to this equation? Show your work.
5(2x – 3) = 5
Divide both sides by 5:
5(2x – 3) = 5
----------- ---
5 5
Simplify:
2x - 3 = 1
Add three to both sides:
2x - 3 + 3 = 1 + 3
Simplify:
2x = 4
Divide both sides by two:
2x = 4
--- ---
2 2
Solution:
1 = x
