Please help!!! Determine whether -10 is a solution of the equation
6(x-2)= -70 Is -10 a solution?
Thanks for your help
No,
6(-10-2)=-72 not 70
Thank you very much Jessica. You're awesome!
To determine whether -10 is a solution of the equation 6(x-2) = -70, we need to substitute -10 into the equation and see if it satisfies the equation.
Step 1: Replace x with -10 in the equation.
6(-10-2) = -70
Step 2: Simplify both sides of the equation.
6(-12) = -70
-72 = -70
Step 3: Compare both sides of the equation.
-72 does not equal -70
Since the equation is not satisfied when -10 is substituted for x, we can conclude that -10 is not a solution of the equation 6(x-2) = -70.
