Question

15. True or False: Is x = 4 a solution to X + 51 = -9 True False

Answer 1

Answer:

False, also the typed version of this problem does not actually use the expression in the accompanying screenshot. That clearly reads as x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem, assuming x = 4 can be read as 4 + 5. Simple math dictates this would equal nine and as there is no negative to either number nor a negative outside of the lines surrounding the problem itself the solution is simple and leads to a false answer.

Answer 2

The answer is going to be false because if you subtract 51 from both sides, x will equal -60
