Question

How do you check whether the given number is a solution of the equation or inequality? And what are the steps to answer it? No, answers please.

2x+6=18;9

Answer 1

explain the question further do u want to check whether the solution is 9 or nt

Answer 2

Replace x with the given number 9


Now evaluate and simplify both sides


If you get a true equation, then that number is a solution.

Answer 3

Wait, I have to check if the GIVEN NUMBER is a solution of the equation or inequality. Ok, that's it.

Answer 4

yep, that's it

Answer 5

2(9) + 6 should be equal to 18
18+6 should be equal to 18
24 is not equal to 18
hence it is not

Answer 6

Ok, thanks kusha. :) And Jim. :D

Answer 7

So it is a inequality then?

Answer 8

not sure what you mean

Answer 9

I have to state whether or not it is either a solution of the equation or an inequality.

Answer 10

2x+6=18 is an equation because it has an equal sign in it


So 9 is not a solution to the equation

Answer 11

So it's a solution to the inequality then?

Answer 12

there is no inequality since there are no inequality signs present

Answer 13

you need either a > or a <

Answer 14

Ok. So it is equation?

Answer 15

yes
