Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 6 = 46. Is x = 8
5x + 6 = 46
subtract 6 to each side
5x + 6 - 6 = 46 - 6
simplify:
5x = 46 - 6
divide 5 both sides
x = 40 / 5
simplify:
x = 8
Answer:
Yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]5x+6=46[/tex]
To check to see if x = 8 is a solution, replace 'x' with 8 and evaluate.
[tex]5(8)+6=46\\\\40+6=46\\\\\boxed{46=46}[/tex]
We get a true statement. This means that x = 8 is a solution to the equation.
Hope this helps.
