Question

Decide whether the given number is a solution of the given equation. Is -6 a solution of -6f - 42 - f?

1) True
2) False

Answer 1

Yes, -6 is a solution of the equation -6f - 42 - f.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if -6 is a solution of the equation -6f - 42 - f, we substitute -6 for f and see if the equation is true.

Replacing f with -6 in the equation, we have -6(-6) - 42 - (-6) = 36 - 42 + 6 = 0.

Since the equation simplifies to 0, we can conclude that -6 is indeed a solution of the given equation.
