Question:

Describe how Jason can check his answer

Answer:

The equation that was given in the question is:


- 8.5 * - 3.5 * = - 78

Also,the value of x given is 6.5

Therefore, we'll put the value of x back into the equation and this will be:


- 8.5 * - 3.5 * = - 78 \\ - 8.5(6.5) - 3.5(6.5) \\ - 55.25 + - 22.75 \\ = - 78

Therefore, the answer is correct
