Question

Determine whether the given value is a solution of the equation. 8w = 99; w = 12

Answer 1

Answer:

The given value is NOT the solution of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the problem, we know that w = 12 and that when a variable is next to a number that means that multiplication should be used.  So, we will multiply 8 x 12 because w = 12 and we get 96.  This equation states that for this to be true 8w should equal 99.  So since 8w = 96 and not 99 we know this is incorrect.
