Is x= 6 a solution to the equation –18 = -2(x + 3)?

Mathematics

Answer:

Yes, it is

Step-by-step explanation:

If you substitute the value of x into the equation, we would get:

-18=-2(6+3)

By using BIDMAS (or whatever else people use, BODMAS, PEDMAS), we first have to do the brackets. In the brackets we have 6+3 (which equals 9).

Now our equation can be simplified to -18=-2(9).

Now  we simply multiply -2 with 9, as a number next to something in a bracket usually means multiplication. If you multiply a positive by a negative, the product will be negative. Therefore, -9 x 2 = -18.

<u>This proves it is a correct solution.</u>

11. Explain why the absolute value of -18 and 18 is 18 for both numbers.
Nady [450]

Answer:

I got you

Step-by-step explanation:

When putting numbers in absolute value bars, the bars cancel out any negative signs in them, meaning the number comes out positive either way, and this goes for any number inside the bars, thats why its the absolute value.
