Answer:

First you substitute the variable for six. Next you multiply eight by six. Then compare your answer to the given answer. 48 is not equal to 56.

This was my answer, and it was correct, hope this helped!

If you want the sample response here it is:

Substitute 6 for the variable, n, using parentheses. Then simplify by multiplying 8 and 6. 8(6) = 48. So you have 56 = 48, which is not a true statement. 6 is not a solution to the equation.

56 = 8 * 6
56 = 48

So the number is not a solution to the equation
