Problem 43
Question
Determine whether the given number is a solution of the equation. $$x+14=20 ; 6$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
Yes, the given number '6' is a solution of the equation
1Step 1: Understand the equation
The equation given is \(x+14=20\). According to this equation, if 'x' is added to '14', it should give '20'.
2Step 2: Substitute the number
The given number '6' needs to be substituted into the equation. So replace 'x' with '6' to make the equation: \(6+14=20\).
3Step 3: Check the balance of the equation after substitution
After substituting '6' in place of 'x', check if the equation still holds correct. Here the equation becomes \(20=20\), which is indeed correct.
