Question

Is 8 a solution to 1/2 x + 9 = 13? Explain.

Answer 1

yes.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, all we have to do is replace the x with 8 and solve the equation accordingly. 1/2 times 8 equals 4, and 4 plus 9 is 13, so both sides are equal and we now know that 8 is in fact a solution to this equation.
