is

1 answer

To determine how many of the given equations have the solution set {5}, we need to check if each equation is satisfied when \( x = 5 \).

  1. Equation: \( 2(x−3)+1=5 \)

    Substitute \( x = 5 \): \[ 2(5−3)+1 = 2(2)+1 = 4+1 = 5 \] This equation is satisfied.

  2. Equation: \( 3b^{15}=1 \)

    To solve for \( b \): \[ b^{15} = \frac{1}{3} \] \( b = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{\frac{1}{15}} \). This does not equal 5, so this equation is not satisfied.

  3. Equation: \( 2h−30=40 \)

    Substitute \( h = 5 \): \[ 2(5)−30 = 10−30 = -20 \neq 40 \] This equation is also not satisfied.

Now, let's summarize the results:

  • The first equation is satisfied when \( x = 5 \).
  • The second equation is not satisfied when \( b = 5 \).
  • The third equation is not satisfied when \( h = 5 \).

Thus, only 1 equation has the solution set {5}.

Therefore, the number of equations that have the solution set {5} is 1.
