2. Max was solving the equation below and isn’t sure if his answer is correct. Explain to Max how he can check his answer and then help him identify any errors he made. Provide the correct solution in your explanation.
3x+6
8
= 7x−1

(
3x+6
8
) = 24
1
(
7x−1
6
)
3(3x+6) = 4(7x−1)
9x+18 = 28x−1
9x−9x+18 = 28x−9x−1
18 = 19x−1
18+1 = 19x−1+1
19 = 19x
1 = x

anonymous · Answer

ok.. how do you think you can check whether x=1 is the right answer or not?!

prince1342 · Answer

By doing the problem again

anonymous · Answer

nooo... 

how do you check if a solution to the equation is right or not??

for exampel

i have 

x+5 = 10
and lets say i somehow calculate x =3
how do you check if this is the right answser?!?

prince1342 · Answer

subtracting 10 by 5

anonymous · Answer

well.. what if u have a more complicated equation

say 

something like

x+3x - 2(x+1) = -3
and i get x =2
how do you check if this is the right answer

WITHOUT ACTUALLY SOLVING!!.. see i don't want you to solve it.. i want you to just CHECK (which can be done in a much faster way) whether or not my answer is right.. 

so do you know?!
