Question

X-14=42, x =56 is it or not a solution?

Answer 1

• x - 14 = 42

put value of x in equation

• 56 - 14 =42

• 42 =42

Lhs = rhs

It is a solution

Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

Use algebraic manipulation.

First, add 14 to both sides:

x - 14 = 42

  + 14   + 14

x + 0  = 42 + 14

Then simplify:

x = 56

So yes, (x = 56) is a solution for the equation (x - 14 = 42).
