What is the solution set of (3x - 1) 2 = 5?

The answer is 7/6. Distribute the 2. Add 2. divide the 6.

Let's solve your equation step-by-step. (3x - 1) (2) = 5

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. (3x - 1) (2) = 5

Simplify: (3x) (2) + (-1) (2) = 5 (Distribute) 6x + - 2 = 5 6x - 2 = 5

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides. 6x - 2 + 2 = 5+2 6x = 7

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6. 6x / 6 = 7/6 x = 7/6

Answer: x = 7 / 6
