Question

5(2x – 3) = 5 Part A: How many solutions does this equation have? (4 points) Part B: What are the solutions to this equation? Show your work. (6 points)

Answer 1

a) One Solution

b) the solution is x=2

Step-by-step explanation

The given equation is:

`5(2x - 3) = 5`

We expand to get;

`10x - 15 = 5`

Group similar terms;

`10x = 15 + 5`

This implies that,

`10x = 20`

Divide both sides by 10 to obtain,

`x = 2`
