Answer 2

Explanation:

Given

x-1 is a factor of the given equation 5x+k-8

To find

We have to find the value of x

SOLUTION:

Since,x-1 is a factor of the given equation

So, x-1 must be equal to zero.

=> x-1=0

x=1

x=1 will satisfies the given Equation

Now, put x's value into the Equation

=> 5x+k-8=0

=>5(1)+k-8=0

=> 5+k-8=0

=> k-8+5=0

=> k-3=0

=> k= 3

Therefore,k=3

Check:

=> 5x+k-8=0

=> 5(1)+3-8

=> 8-8=0
