Question

x=4 is a solution to the equation
2
= x - 8
True
O False

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

2 = x - 8

Add 8 to each side

2+8 = x-8+8

10 = x

x=4 is not a solution

Answer 2

For this case we have the following equation:

$2 = x-8$

If we add 8 to both sides of the equation, we have:

$2 + 8 = x-8 + 8\\10 = x$

Thus, the solution of the equation is $x = 10,$ therefore$x = 4$is not a solution of the given equation.

Answer:

$x = 4$ is not a solution to the given equation.

False
