Question

1. Rewrite the equation 5(x - 3) = x + 13 with 6 substituted for x. Write a

question mark over the equal sign to show that you're testing to see if the
equation is true

2. Simplify both sides. Show your work.

3. Is x = 6 a solution to the equation? Why or why not?

4. Find a value of x that is a solution to 5(x - 3) = x + 13. Describe how you
found the solution

Answer 1

Explanation:

5(6-3)=6+13 -simplify

30-15=6+13

15=19

x doesnt equal 6

5(x-3)=x+13

5x-15=x+13

4x=28

x=7

4x=28

4(7)=28

28=28
