Question
What is the solution set for 5x−5=15, given the replacement set {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}? Responses A: x = 4 B: x = 3 C: x = 2 D: x = 1 E: x = 0
Answer
A: x = 4
- Add 5 to both sides of the equation: 5x = 20.
- Divide both sides of the equation by 5: x = 4.
- Check if x = 4 is in the replacement set: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}. A: x = 4 is in the replacement set.
