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
