I am thinking there has to be a typo on my homework. The question states to Decide if the given number is a solution to the given equation and below it it shows 24/x 2;3.... does this make sense if so could someone explain it to me?

Based on the information you provided, it seems like there is a typographical error in the question. The expression "24/x 2;3" does not make mathematical sense as it is not clear how the numbers and symbols are meant to be interpreted.

To determine if a given number is a solution to an equation, you need a specific equation and a specific number to substitute into it. However, in the expression you mentioned, there is no equation nor any specific number to consider.

To resolve this, you may want to consult with your teacher or classmates to clarify the question or request the correct equation and number to consider. It's always important to seek clarification when encountering unclear or nonsensical problems on your homework.
