Question

Check whether the given value of x is a solution to the equation. Justify your answer.1/8(x + 56) = 10

Answer 1

To check if x is a solution to the equation, you have to replace the value of x into the equation and corroborate if both sides of the equal sign coincide.

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(8)(x+56)=10 \\ (1)/(8)(24+56)=10 \\ (1)/(8)(80)=10 \\ 10=10 \end{gathered}`

then, x = 24 is a solution
