Question

Check whether the given number is a solution of the equation
6x+1-5x=7;2

Answer 1

6x + 1 - 5x = 7 when x = 2

To check this answer, you simply need to plug in 2 for x in the original equation.

6x + 1 - 5x = 7

6(2) + 1 - 5(2) = 7

Simplify.

12 + 1 - 10 = 7

Simplify.

13 - 10 = 7

Simplify.

3 = 7

3 ≠ 7 Therefore x does NOT equal 2.
