To solve the equation \(5\sqrt{5x - 3} = 2\), follow these steps:
-
Divide both sides by 5: \[ \sqrt{5x - 3} = \frac{2}{5} \]
-
Square both sides to eliminate the square root: \[ 5x - 3 = \left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^2 \] \[ 5x - 3 = \frac{4}{25} \]
-
Add 3 to both sides: \[ 5x = 3 + \frac{4}{25} \] To add these, convert 3 into a fraction with a denominator of 25: \[ 3 = \frac{75}{25} \] Thus, \[ 5x = \frac{75}{25} + \frac{4}{25} = \frac{75 + 4}{25} = \frac{79}{25} \]
-
Divide both sides by 5: \[ x = \frac{79}{25} \cdot \frac{1}{5} = \frac{79}{125} \]
-
Now, let's check the answers provided. It appears that none of the options directly include \(\frac{79}{125}\), indicating it’s either a miscalculation or the equation doesn’t yield any of the provided answers.
Let’s verify this step to ensure correctness:
- Squaring didn’t miss anything,
- The addition and divisions are consistent.
Since \(x = \frac{79}{125}\) is not one of the responses, please double-check the problem or solve for potential inequalities. The method checks out, suggesting none of the answers given is accurate according to this calculation.
If any additional context or constraints were given in the question, please provide them for a more accurate conclusion!
