Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explain:

5(2x-3) = 5

Divide both sides by 5

2x-3 = 1

Add 3 to both sides

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

x = 2

Answer:

x=2

Explanation:

5(2x - 3) = 5

Divide by 5

5/5(2x - 3) = 5/5

2x-3 = 1

Add 3 to each side

2x-3 +3 = 1+3

2x = 4

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 4/2

x =2
