Question

Looking at the equation, 5x + 6 = 46, will
x = 7 make the equation true?
Why or why not?

Answer 1

No because 5x7=35 and then when you add 6 it equals 41

Answer 2

This is not true so x=7 is not a solution

Explanation:

5x + 6 = 46

Let x = 7

5*7 +6 = 46

35+6 = 46

41 = 46

This is not true so x=7 is not a solution
