To solve this question using substitution method, we substitute each number from the set {6, 7, 8} into the variable x in the equation 54 ÷ x = 9 and see which one satisfies the equation.
Let's start with 6:
54 ÷ 6 = 9
9 = 9
So, x = 6 makes the equation true.
Similarly, Let's check for 7:
54 ÷ 7 = 7.71
7.71 ≠ 9
So, x = 7 does not satisfy the equation.
Let's check for 8:
54 ÷ 8 = 6.75
6.75 ≠ 9
So, x = 8 does not satisfy the equation.
Therefore, the number from the set {6, 7, 8} that makes the equation 54 ÷ x = 9 true is x = 6.
