Question

If x = 14, which equation is true?

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Knowing x=14, we will substitute 14 when we see x.

In the equation 2(x-3) =22, when we substitute 14 for x we get 2(14-3)=22

Following PEMDAS, we do what's in the parenthesis first. 14 minus 3 gives us 11 and multiplying that by 2 will give us 22.

22=22 is true and therefore, C is your correct option.

Answer 2

The answer is C because 14 - 3 = 11 x 2 = 22
