Charlie solved an equation, as shown below:
Step 1: 5x = 30
Step 2: x = 30 – 5
Step 3: x = 25
Part A: Is Charlie's solution correct or incorrect? If the solution is incorrect, explain why it is incorrect and show the correct steps to solve the equation.
Part B: How many solutions will this equation have?
My answer:
You would actually use division rather than subtracting, giving you the answer x = 6. There is only one solution to this one step equation.
