Exercise 3 Page 320

Substitute each value one at a time into the equation to verify if it is true or false.

H

We want to verify if any of the given values are solutions of the equation. We will replace the variable with each option and check if the equation is true.
x 11 - 3x = - 7 Simplify True or False?
- 6 11 - 3( - 6) ? = - 7 29 ≠ - 7 False
- 4/3 11 - 3( - 4/3) ? = - 7 15 ≠ - 7 False
6 11 - 3( 6) ? = - 7 - 7 = - 7 True
54 11 - 3( 54) ? = - 7 - 151 ≠ - 7 False

The equation is true when x=6. This corresponds to option H.
