Answer:
The only value of x that will make the equation true is x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]x=2[/tex]
[tex]3x - 5 = 1[/tex]
To determine if any value of x will work, we need to solve for x in the given equation
[tex]3x - 5 = 1[/tex]
Add 5 to both sides
[tex]3x - 5 + 5 = 1 + 5[/tex]
[tex]3x = 6[/tex]
Divide both sides by 3
[tex]x = 2[/tex]
This implies that the only value of x that will make the equation true is [tex]x = 2[/tex] and any other value of x will make the equation to be false.
This is so because that is the solution of the equation
