Question

Is – 7 a solution to the equation 8 {1/4x +3/4} -3 = 17

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by using the distributive property to simplify 8(1/4x+3/4):

8•1/4x=2x

8•3/4=6

The equation now reads: 2x+6-3=17. Subtract 3 from six and you get 2x+3=17.

You can now proceed to answer this like any two step linear equation.

2x+3=17

-3 -3

2x=14

x=7

7 is the solution to this equation
