Which number shown in parentheses is a solution of the given equation? A)1/3x+5=7 (6) B)1/3x+5=7 (9) C)2/3x+5=7 (9) D)2/3x+5=7 (6) would the correct answer be C
What is the given equation?
solve y + 7/9 is greater than or equal to 56/72
To determine which number shown in parentheses is a solution of the given equation, we need to substitute the value inside the parentheses into the equation and check if it satisfies the equation.
Let's evaluate each option:
A) Substituting 6 into the equation 1/3x + 5 = 7:
1/3(6) + 5 = 7
2 + 5 = 7
7 = 7
B) Substituting 9 into the equation 1/3x + 5 = 7:
1/3(9) + 5 = 7
3 + 5 = 7
8 = 7 (This is not true)
C) Substituting 9 into the equation 2/3x + 5 = 7:
2/3(9) + 5 = 7
6 + 5 = 7
11 = 7 (This is not true)
D) Substituting 6 into the equation 2/3x + 5 = 7:
2/3(6) + 5 = 7
4 + 5 = 7
9 = 7 (This is not true)
From the above evaluations, none of the given options satisfy the equation. Therefore, there is no solution provided among the given answer choices.
