An equation is shown below:

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

Part A: The equation has one solution.

Part B:

5(2x − 3) = 5
10x - 15 = 5
Adding 15 to both sides:
10x = 20
Dividing by 10:
x = 2

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 2.
