Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
(3 • (5x - 15)) - 15 • (x - 3) = 0
STEP
2
:
STEP
3
:
Pulling out like terms
3.1 Pull out like factors :
5x - 15 = 5 • (x - 3)
Equation at the end of step
3
:
15 • (x - 3) - 15 • (x - 3) = 0
STEP
4
:
Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out 15
Pulling out like terms :
4.2 Pull out x-3
After pulling out, we are left with :
15 • x-3 • ( 1 * 1 +( (-1) * (-1) ))
Equation at the end of step
4
:
30 • (x - 3) = 0
STEP
5
:
Equations which are never true
5.1 Solve : 30 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
5.2 Solve : x-3 = 0
Add 3 to both sides of the equation :
x = 3
One solution was found :
x = 3
