Answer 2

A) 1 solution
B) try to work it out. first, remove the bracket (multiply every term in it by the 5 that is in front of the bracket). i will tell you what to do next when you finish it

Answer 3

i dont understand thats why i asked @Fallontine

Answer 4

okay
5(2x – 3) = 5
you remove the bracket like this: 5(2x - 3) is actually 5*2x - 5*3, right?
so now you have:
10x - 15 = 5
then yo need to let the x's be on one side and everything else on the other side.
on the left side, you have a negative 15 and you don't want it there, so you add 15 to both sides of the equation and you have:
10x = 20
now you see that both sides are divisible by 10, so you divide them and you have:
x=2

Answer 5

ohhh okay thtas the answer ? @Fallontine

Answer 6

yes
