To determine if 42 is a solution to the equation x-14 = 18, you need to substitute the value of x with 42 and see if the equation holds true.
Step 1: Start with the equation given: x-14 = 18
Step 2: Substitute the value of x with 42:
42 - 14 = 18
Step 3: Perform the calculation:
28 = 18
Step 4: Analyze the result:
Since 28 is not equal to 18, it means that the equation x-14 = 18 does not hold true when x is equal to 42.
Therefore, the answer is that 42 is not a solution to the equation x-14 = 18.
