Hey there!
• If x = 6, then substitute it into the equations until you find the correct answer…
Option A.
8x - 8 = 44
8(6) - 8 = 44
48 - 8 = 44
48 ≠ 44
Option A. is NOT your ANSWER
Option B.
2x + 5 = 17
2(6) + 5 = 17
12 + 5 = 17
17 = 17
Option B. could possibly be your answer
Option C.
8x + 7 = 103
8(6) + 7 = 103
48 + 7 = 103
55 ≠ 103
Option C. is NOT your answer
Option D.
2x - 7 = -5
2(6) - 7 = -5
12 - 7 = -5
5 ≠ -5
Option D is NOT your answer although 5 is the opposite of -5 but that still doesn’t justify that this could be your answer.
To sum it all up your ANSWER is: Option B. 2x + 7 = 17
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
