use substitution to determine which number(s) from the set {9,12,14} make the equation 6x = 72 true.
x = ?
Apologies for the confusion. Upon further consideration, it seems I made a mistake in the initial response.
Using the substitution method, we can check each number from the set {9,12,14} to see which one(s) make the equation 6x = 72 true:
1. Substitute 9 into the equation:
6(9) = 54
Since 54 is not equal to 72, 9 does not make the equation true.
2. Substitute 12 into the equation:
6(12) = 72
Since 72 is equal to 72, 12 makes the equation true.
3. Substitute 14 into the equation:
6(14) = 84
Since 84 is not equal to 72, 14 does not make the equation true.
Therefore, the number(s) from the set {9,12,14} that make the equation 6x = 72 true is x = 12.
To determine which number(s) from the set {9,12,14} make the equation 6x = 72 true, we can substitute each number into the equation and see if it satisfies the equation.
1. Substitute 9 into the equation:
6(9) = 54
Since 54 is not equal to 72, 9 does not make the equation true.
2. Substitute 12 into the equation:

3. Substitute 14 into the equation:
6(14) = 84
Since 84 is not equal to 72, 14 does not make the equation true.
Therefore, the number(s) from the set {9,12,14} that make the equation 6x = 72 true is x = 12.
