Question

GIVING BRAINLIEST Try the numbers 4, 5, 6, 7 in the equation 6 ⋅ x + 5 = 12 + 5 ⋅ x

Answer 1

6 is a solution to equation 6x + 5 = 12 + 5x

Solution:

Given equation is:

6x + 5 = 12 + 5x

Try the numbers 4, 5, 6, 7 in the equation to test whether any of them is a solution

Substitute x = 4

6(4) + 5 = 12 + 5(4)

24 +5 = 12 + 20

$29 \neq 32$

Thus 4 is not a solution

Substitute x = 5

6(5) + 5 = 12 + 5(5)

30 + 5 = 12 + 25

$35\neq 37$

Thus 5 is not a solution

Substitute x = 6

6(6) + 5 = 12 + 5(6)

36 + 5 = 12 + 30

$41\neq 42$

Thus 6 is not a solution

Substitute x = 7

6(7) + 5 = 12 + 5(7)

42 + 5 = 12 + 35

47 = 47

Thus 6 is a solution
