Question

Is v = -1 / 3 a solution of 9v-2= 3v?

Answer 1

No, -1/3 is not a solution

Explanation:

See if it is a solution by plugging in -1/3 as v and seeing if the equation is correct:

9v - 2 = 3v

9(-1/3) - 2 = 3(-1/3)

-3 - 2 = -1

-5 = -1

-5
`\\eq` -1

So, since the equation is incorrect, -1/3 is not a solution.
