Question

ХFor each value of x, determine whether it is a solution to 2 = X/2-4

Answer 1

Given:

`2=(x)/(2)-4`
`\begin{gathered} \text{when} \\ x=-8 \\ (x)/(2)-4 \\ (-8)/(2)-4 \\ -4-4=-8 \\ \\ 2\\e-8 \\ \\ \text{Hence it is not a solution} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, x = -8 is NOT A SOLUTION.

`\begin{gathered} \text{when} \\ x=18 \\ (x)/(2)-4 \\ (18)/(2)-4 \\ 9-4=5 \\ \\ 2\\e5 \\ \\ \text{Hence it is not a solution} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, x = 18 is NOT A SOLUTION.

`\begin{gathered} \text{when} \\ x=-10 \\ (x)/(2)-4 \\ (-10)/(2)-4 \\ -5-4=-9 \\ \\ 2\\e-9 \\ \\ \text{Hence it is not a solution} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, x = -10 is NOT A SOLUTION.

`\begin{gathered} \text{when} \\ x=16 \\ (x)/(2)-4 \\ (16)/(2)-4 \\ 8-4=4 \\ \\ 2\\e4 \\ \\ \text{Hence it is not a solution} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, x = 16 is NOT A SOLUTION.
