Question 132258
{{{9x+5=30}}} Start with the given equation




{{{9x=30-5}}}Subtract 5 from both sides



{{{9x=25}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(25)/(9)}}} Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x




{{{x=25/9}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=25/9}}}  (which is approximately {{{x=2.77777777777778}}} in decimal form)



So this means that 3 is <b>not</b> a solution of the equation {{{9x+5=30}}}
