$\tt5( x - 3 ) = 5x - 15 \\ \tt5x - 15 = 5x - 15 \\ \tt5x - 5x = - 15 + 15 \\ \tt\bcancel{5x} - \bcancel{5x} = \bcancel{- 15} + \bcancel{15} \\ \boxed{\tt0 = 0}$

The answer is 0.
LHS = RHS, hence verified.

Value of x (substitute 0 in the place of x).

$\tt5( (0) - 3 ) = 5(0) - 15 \\ \tt0 - 15 = 0 - 15 \\ \tt \boxed{\tt -15 = -15}$

So, value of x is 0.

What is the smallest solution to the equation 3x<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20" id="TexFormula1" title=" x^

IF you mean $3 x^{2} -16=131$ , then the following would be a solution:

First add 16 to both sides of the equation:
$3 x^{2} = 147$

Now divide both sides of the equation by 3:
$x^{2} =49$

Take the square root of both sides to solve for "X", or simply solve by inspection: "what number(s) can be squared to get 49?"

Answer: -7 and 7 So the smallest solution would be "-7"

$\text{Solve the absolute value, remember, there are two answers/outcomes}\\\\\text{First outcome:}\\\\2x - 5 = 4\\\\\text{Solve:}\\\\2x - 5 = 4\\\\\text{Add 5 to both sides}\\\\2x=9\\\\\text{Divide by 2}\\\\\boxed{x=\frac{9}{2}}\\\\\text{Second outcome:}\\\\2x - 5 = -4\\\\\text{Add 5 to both sides}\\\\2x=1\\\\\text{Divide by 2}\\\\\boxed{x=\frac{1}{2}}$
