Answer to Problem 5MRE
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Concept Used:
- Steps to solve a linear equation:
- Use distributive property to eliminate any grouping symbol.
- Simplify the expression in each side of the equation.
- Collect the variables on one side of the equation and the constants on the other side.
- Isolate the variable
- To check the solution of an equation substitute the solution in the equation and check whether it satisfies.
Calculation:
In order to solve the equation:
Isolate the variable by first subtracting 6 from both sides, as
Now, further simplify this by dividing both sides by 6.
Thus, solution of given equation is
