I won't do your homework for you, but I'll do one just like it.
I'll do this one instead:

The solution x=-6 makes which of the following equations true?
17-x=11
x/6=1
X+9=3
11x=66

We substitute (-6) in each one to see if we get the same number on
both sides.  If we do, then x=-6 makes the equation true. If it
doesn't, then it doesn't.





23 on the left side does NOT equal to 11 on the right side, so
this is NOT correct.




-1 on the left side does NOT equal to 1 on the right side, so
this is NOT correct.





3 on the left side DOES equal to 3 on the right side, so
this IS correct.




-66 on the left side does NOT equal to 66 on the right side, so
this is NOT correct.

No do your problem by substituting (-5) for x.
