Question

What is the correct solution to the equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 5(x - 5) = 15

To find = x

Solution ;

$5\times (x - 5) = 15$

Step 1: Opening the brackets

$5x -15 = 15$

Step 2: moving like terms together;

$5x =25 + 15$

$5x=40$

$x=\frac{40}{5}=8$

8 is the correct solution to the equation. Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Answer 2

The answer is C. 8 minus 5 is 3 then 3 times 5 is 15.
