Sagot :

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A only 1 solution

B

4(2x - 5) = 4 ( divide both sides by 4 )

2x - 5 = 1 ( add 5 to both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

Answer:

  • [tex]\boxed{\sf{x=3}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate it by the term of x from one side of the equation.

  • Part A. There will be one solution.
  • Part B.

4(2x-5)=4

First, divide by 4 from both sides.

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{4\left(2x-5\right)}{4}=\dfrac{4}{4}}[/tex]

Then, solve.

4/4=1

Rewrite the problem down.

2x-5=1

Add by 5 from both sides.

[tex]\sf{2x-5+5=1+5}[/tex]

Solve.

1+5=6

2x=6

Divide by 2 from both sides.

2x/2=6/2

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

6/2=3

x=3

  • Therefore, the correct answer is x=3.
