Question

Is 11 a solution to 3(x+6)=4x ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number 11 is not a solution for the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an equation with one variable. We can use simplifying processes to solve the equation.

$3(x+6)=4x \ \ \text{Distribute the 3 through.}\\3x + 18 = 4x\ \ \ \text{Flip the equation.}\\4x = 3x + 18 \ \ \ \text{Subtract 3x from both sides.}\\\small\boxed{\bold{x = 18}}$

We can also substitute 11 for x and solve to see if the left side and right side of the equation equals itself.

$3(11 + 6) = 4(11)\\33 + 18 = 44\\\small\boxed{\bold{51 \neq 44}}$

Therefore, 11 is not a solution for the given equation.
