Question

Maria solved the equation below and got x = –4. Which of the following choices verifies that her solution is correct?

5x + 22 = x + 6

A.
5(–4) + 22 = (–4) + 6
–20 + 22 = –2
–2 = –2

B.
5(–31) + 22 = (–10) + 6
–26 + 22 = –4
–4 = –4

C.
5(–4) + 22 = (–4) + 6
5(18) = (–4) +6
24 = 24

D.
5(–4) + 22 = (–4) + 6
–20 + 22 = 2
2 = 2

Answer 1
