Answer:

No, 6 is not a solution to the equation x2-4=5x

Explanation:

6(2)-4=5(6)

12-4=30

8=30

The question is basically asking if you replace x with 6, will the equation equal each other on both sides, for example 6=6 or 3.5=3 1/2. In this case the equation gives us 8=30 which means 6 would not be a solution since both sides aren't equal to one another, 30 is bigger than 8.
