Q. Decide whether the given number is a solution. Is −9 a solution of −9f=90−f ?
Substitute −9 for f: Given the equation −9f=90−f, we need to check if −9 is a solution for the variable f. To do this, we substitute −9 for f in the equation and see if the equation holds true.Substitute −9 for f: −9(−9)=90−(−9)Calculate the left side: f0
Calculate left side: Now, calculate the right side of the equation after substitution.90+9=99
Calculate right side: Compare the results of the left side and the right side of the equation.Left side: 81Right side: 99Since 81=99, −9 is not a solution to the equation −9f=90−f.
