Question

Is either x = 6 or x = 4 a solution to 33 - x = 27?

A: x = 6 is a solution, but x = 4 is not.
B: x = 4 is a solution, but x = 6 is not.
C: Neither are solutions
D: they are both solutions

Answer 1

A: x = 6 is a solution, but x = 4 is not.

Explanation:

33-x=27

-33 -33

-x=-6

-x/ -x/

x=6

Answer 2

Answer: A: x=6

Step-by-step explanation: If we plug in 6 for X in the equation we get

33 - 6. 33 - 6 does equal 27.

Now to make sure X = 4 is not an answer, we plug that in too. 33 - 4.

33 - 4 = 29, so this is not the answer.
