-6x - 6 = 48 - 3x; 6
A)not a solution
B)solution

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To check if 6 is a solution, we substitute x=6 into the equation:
6(6) - 6 = 48 - 3(6)
36 - 6 = 48 - 18
30 = 30
Since the equation is true when x=6, we can say that 6 is a solution. Therefore, the best choice is B, solution. To check if 6 is a solution, we replace x with 6: 
6(6) - 6 = 48 - 3(6) 
36 - 6 = 48 - 18 
30 = 30 
Since the equation is true when x = 6, we can say that 6 is a solution. Therefore, the answer is B.
