5(2x – 3) = 5 part a: how many solutions does this equation have? (4 points) part b: what are the solutions to this equation? show your work. (6 points)

ANSWER

a) One Solution

b) the solution is x=2

EXPLANATION

The given equation is:

We expand to get;

Group similar terms;

This implies that,

Divide both sides by 10 to obtain,

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
