Question

Find the root of each equation.

$3x-5=0$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required root is represented by $x=\frac{5}{3}$.

Step 1. Determine the method which can be used to determine the required root.

The equation that represents the value of x will represent the required root.

Step 2. Determine the value of x .

Perform addition of 5 on both sides of the provided equation.

$$\begin{gathered} 3x-5+5=5 \\ 3x=5 \end{gathered}$$ 

Perform division of 3 on both sides of the equation.

$\begin{array}{c}\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{5}{3}\\ x=\frac{5}{3}\end{array}$

Step 3. Write the conclusion.

The obtained equation $x=\frac{5}{3}$ is the required root.
