Answer:
-6:No
-2:No
7:No
8:No
The only number to make this equation true is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
I will substitute each value in place of the variable. Hopefully you understand PEMDAS
3(-6)+5=8
-18+5=8
-13=8
-13 does not equal 8 so false.
3(-2)+5=8
-6+5=8
-1=8
-1 doe not equal 8 so false
3(7)+5=8
21+5=8
26=8
26 does not equal 8 so false
3(8)+5=8
24+5=8
29=8
29 does not equal 8 so false
Let's see what would make this true:
3x+5=8
3x=3
×=1
