Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

no, it makes the equation false

Explanation:

A "solution" is a value of x that makes the equation true. When we use 4 in place of x here, we get ...

5 + 4 = 10

9 = 10 . . . . . . . a false statement

The value x=4 does not make the equation true, so it is not a solution.
