OpenStudy (anonymous):

adding 15 to both sides. 7x-15(+15)=13(+15) 7x=28

my teacher said to check it how do i check if it is right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is x=4. So you replace the value of x with 4 in the original equation. i.e. 16x-15-9x=13 16(4)-15-9(4)=13 64-15-36=13 13=13 Therefore its correct that the solution for 16x-15-9x=13, x=4
