Question

If x = -6, which equation is true?

A 0 = 2(x - 6)
B 36 = 3(6 - x)
C 27 = 3(x – 3)
D -30 = 6x - 6

Answer 1

36 = 3(6 - x)

Explanation:

Option A is false.

Option C is false.

Option D is false.

With all of the other options being false, we are left with option B. If we take the equation 36 = 3(6 - x) and change it to 35 = 3(6 - (-6)), we can confirm that it it correct.

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

A. 0 = 2((-6) - 6)

0 = -12 - 12

0 = -24

False.

B. 36 = 3(6 - (-6))

36 = 3(6+6)

36 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

True
