The equation that becomes false when 6 is substituted is 5m+3=3m.

Let's substitute 6 into each equation to see which one becomes false:

−6(t−8)=12

Substitute t=6:

−6(6−8)=12

−6(−2)=12

12=12 (True)

5m+3=3m

Substitute m=6:

5(6)+3=3(6)

30+3=18

33 ≠ 18 (False)

t+5=11

Substitute t=6:

6+5=11

11=11 (True)

9=2x−3

Substitute x=6:

9=2(6)−3

9=12−3

9=9 (True)

So, the equation that becomes false when 6 is substituted is

5m+3=3m.

Question

The integer 6 makes which of the following equations false?

−6(t − 8) = 12

5m + 3 = 3m

t + 5 = 11

9 = 2x − 3
