Question

Explain how you know that 88 is a solution to the equation 18x=11 by completing the sentences: The word "solution" means . . . 88 is a solution to 18x=11 because . . .​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The word "solution" means a value or values that satisfy an equation or inequality. In the context of the equation 18x=11, a solution is a value of x that makes the equation true.

To show that 88 is a solution to the equation 18x=11, we can substitute 88 for x and evaluate both sides of the equation:

18x = 11

18(88) = 11

1584 = 11

Since 1584 is not equal to 11, we can conclude that 88 is not a solution to the equation 18x=11.

Therefore, we cannot say that 88 is a solution to the equation 18x=11.
