Question

Show whether each value in the set {2,3,4} is a solution of the equation x + 2 = 6.

PLEASE HURRY. THIS IS DUE IN 7 MINUTES

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Plug in each given value into the expression to see if it is true.

Set given: {2 , 3 , 4}

Equation given: x + 2 = 6

First, plug in 2 for x. When x = 2:

x + 2 = 6

(2) + 2 = 6

4 ≠ 6.

Next, plug in 3 for x. When x = 3:

x + 2 = 6

(3) + 2 =6

5 ≠ 6.

Finally, plug in 4 for x. When x = 4:

x + 2 = 6

(4) + 2 = 6

6 = 6 (True).

In the given set, only 4 complete the equation.
