We are given an equation and asked to check if a given solution, x=- 4, is correct.
3x+7=x-1
To check if x=- 4 is a correct solution, we should substitute - 4 for x in the given equation and simplify to check if we get an identity or a contradiction.
Simplifying the expression resulted in an identity. Therefore, x=- 4 is a correct solution.
In this case, we are given an equation and asked to check if a given solution, x=3, is correct.
- 2x-4=- 4x+3
To check if x=3 is a correct solution, we should substitute 3 for x in the given equation and simplify to check if we get an identity or a contradiction.
Simplifying the expression resulted in a contradiction. Therefore, x=3 is not a correct solution.
In this case, we are given an equation and asked to check if a given solution, x=2, is correct.
- 3x+5+5x-1=0
To check if x=2 is a correct solution, we should substitute 2 for x in the given equation and simplify to check if we get an identity or a contradiction.
Simplifying the expression resulted in a contradiction. Therefore, x=2 is not a correct solution.
In this case, we are given an equation and asked to check if a given solution, x=3, is correct.
- (x-1) = 4x-5-3x
To check if x=3 is a correct solution, we should substitute 3 for x in the given equation and simplify to check if we get an identity or a contradiction.
