<h3>6 is a solution to equation 6x + 5 = 12 + 5x</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given equation is:</u></em>
6x + 5 = 12 + 5x
Try the numbers 4, 5, 6, 7 in the equation to test whether any of them is a solution
<em><u>Substitute x = 4</u></em>
6(4) + 5 = 12 + 5(4)
24 +5 = 12 + 20
Thus 4 is not a solution
<em><u>Substitute x = 5</u></em>
6(5) + 5 = 12 + 5(5)
30 + 5 = 12 + 25
Thus 5 is not a solution
<em><u>Substitute x = 6</u></em>
6(6) + 5 = 12 + 5(6)
36 + 5 = 12 + 30
Thus 6 is not a solution
<em><u>Substitute x = 7</u></em>
6(7) + 5 = 12 + 5(7)
42 + 5 = 12 + 35
47 = 47
Thus 6 is a solution
