x = 3 a solution for 3x – 1 = 6? Write yes or no.
Chuck: multiply 3 times 3, then subtract one. Is that six?
Does (3 * 3) - 1 = 6 ?????
Solve using the addition principle.
x + 1 = 7
You need to do some work here. What happens when you add -1 to each side?
To determine if x = 3 is a solution for 3x - 1 = 6, you can substitute the value of x into the equation and see if it satisfies the equation.
So, let's substitute x = 3 into the equation:
3(3) - 1 = 6
9 - 1 = 6
8 = 6
This statement is false. The equation is not satisfied when x = 3 because 8 does not equal 6.
So, the answer is no.
