Answer check! 20 points.

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.

5(2x – 3) = 5
divide both sides by 5:

5(2x – 3) = 5

5 5

simplify:
2x - 3 = 1

add three to both sides:
2x - 3 + 3 = 1 + 3

simplify:

2x = 4

divide both sides by two:

2x = 4

2 2

solution:

1 = x

there is only one solution for this equation!
