Solved Example

Q. Is x=3x = 3 a solution to this equation? \newlinex9=15x - 9 = -15\newlineChoices:\newline(A)yes\newline(B)no
Solution:
  1. Identify and Substitute: Identify the equation and substitute x=3x = 3 into the equation.\newlineSubstitute 33 for xx in x9=15x − 9 = −15.\newlineEquation after substitution: 39=153 − 9 = −15
  2. Simplify Left Side: Perform the subtraction to simplify the left side of the equation. 39=63 - 9 = -6
  3. Compare Results: Compare the simplified result with the right side of the equation.\newlineWe found that 39=63 - 9 = -6, but the equation requires it to be 15-15.\newlineSince 615-6 \neq -15, x=3x = 3 is not a solution to the equation x9=15x - 9 = -15.
