Verifying Work Jason solved the following equation to find the value for X. -8.5x-3.5x=-78 x=6.5 Describe how Jason can check his answer.

Shadow:

\[-8.5x - 3.5x = -78\] \[x = 6.5\]

Shadow:

If that's what it looks like, the best way to check his answer is to simplify like terms in the first equation then input the value for x into the equation.

alsando:

So it would be -8.5(6.5)-3.5(6.5)=-78
