honestly, i feel like you lack one operation in this equation. it must be 5(x-3)+2=0. last thing i remember, the indication of the open-close parentheses is multiplication only to the number written before it or the variable written after it.

5(x-3)+2=0

(5x-15)+2=0

5x-15= (-2)

5x= (-2)+15

5x= 13

x=13/5

that’s what i remember.. hehe.. d-_-b

Is the 2 after the parentheses supposed to have a + or – before it?

Here is an overview of how to solve:

Assuming it is 5(x-3)+2=0, you would first subtract 2 from both sides:

5(x-3)=-2

now divide through by 5

x-3=-2/5

add 3 to both sides

x=-2/5 +3

If you find the lcd of the fractions, you can then simplify the right:

-2/5 + 15/5 = 13/5

in mixed number form it is 2 3/5

SOLVE FOR X

think: 5 * (x-3) * 2, which also means 5 * 2 * (x-3)= 10(x-3)

so then:

10(x-3)=0 FACTOR OUT 10(X-3)

10x – 30=0 ADD POSITIVE 30 TO EACH SIDE,which

cancels -30from left side and is +30 on right side

10x=30 DIVIDE 30 BY 10

x=3

I THINK… LOL sososo sorry if i’m wrong…

5(x -3)2 = 0

first, you have to distribute the 5 to simplify your equation. So, it will be…

(5x -15) 2 = 0

then, distribute the 2…

10x – 30 = 0

you have to make all the numbers with variables in the left side and the non-variable numbers in the right side. Remember that when you transfer a number to another side of the equation, you will reverse the sign.

10x = 30

now, to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 10 to eliminate the 10 in the x.

10x/10 = 30/10

so, if you divide it… it will become:

x = 3

and that’s the final answer… 🙂

5(x-3)2=0

5x-15(2)=0, distribute 5 to (x-3), then multiply 15 to 2.

5x – 30=0

5x=0+30, transpose -30 to the right and (-) become (+).

5x=30/5, divide both sides by 5 to get the value of x which is 6.

x=6.

5(x-3)2=0

u multiply 5 and 2 = 10

den, 10(x-3) = 0

10=0 or x-3 =0

x=3

5(x-3)2=0

(5x-15)2=0

10x-30=0

10x-30+30=0+30

10x=30

10x/10=30/10

x=3
