Question

For each value of X determine whether it is a solution to 4 - 7x = - 52

Answer 1

Question:

Solution:

Consider the following equation:

`4-7x=-52`

Let's see if this equation is true for each x:

For x = 5, we get that:

`4-7(5)=-31\\e-52`

then x= 5 is NOT a solution of the given equation.

For x = -9, we get that:

`4-7(-9)=4+7(9)=67\\e-52`

then, x = -9 is NOT a solution of the given equation.

For x= 2, we get that:

`4-7(2)=-10\\e-52`

then, x = 2 is NOT a solution of the given equation.

For x = -7, we get that:

`4-7(-7)=53\\e-52`

then, x = -7 is NOT a solution of the given equation.
