Question

Are 9 and 32 both solutions of the equation 4x = 36? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Just 9

Explanation:

4x = 36 (Divide 4 on both sides)

x = 9

Answer 2

No, 9 and 32 are not both solution of this equation. This is because 36 is a product of x and 4 it is not part of a subtraction equation. Therefore when you solve the equation 36/4 equals 9.
