Question

An equation is shown below:

5(2x − 3) = 5

Part A: How many solutions does this equation have?

Part B: What are the solutions to this equation? Show your work.

Answer 1

Part A there are two solutions

Part B : 5(2x-3)=5

: 10x-15=5

: 10x=15+5

: 10x÷10=20÷10

: x=2

Answer 2

Part A: only have one solution that is x=2
Work:
5(2x-3)=5
2x-3=1
2x=1+3
2x=4
x=4/2
x=2
