Respuesta :

ANSWER

a) One Solution

b) the solution is x=2

EXPLANATION

The given equation is:

[tex]5(2x - 3) = 5[/tex]

We expand to get;

[tex]10x - 15 = 5[/tex]

Group similar terms;

[tex]10x = 15 + 5[/tex]

This implies that,

[tex]10x = 20[/tex]

Divide both sides by 10 to obtain,

[tex]x = 2[/tex]
