- By substitution, justify that x = − 6 is a solution to x − 2 = − x − 14.

First, let's substitute the value of x as -6 in the equation.

Now, let's solve it.

Subtract 2 from -6 to get -8.

The opposite of -6 is 6.

Subtract 14 from 6 to get -8.

Compare -8 and -8. We can see that both the LHS & RHS are equal to each other. So, hence we proved that <u>x = − 6 is a solution of x − 2 = − x − 14.</u>
I believe b is the correct answer
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Cytosine, guanine, thymine, and adenine are collectively referred to as nitrogenous bases. These are not phosphates. The cytosine, guanine, thymine, and adenine are the four different types of nitrogenous bases. These nitrogenous bases are present in the deoxyribonucleotides. Cytosine and thymine are smaller in structure and have single ring structures. These are collectively called pyrimidines. On the other hand, adenine and guanine are the larger nitrogenous bases each with double ring structures. They are collectively called purines
