Algebra.Com's Answer #324004 by algebrahouse.com(1659)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Is k = -2 a solution of 5k – 6(k – 1) = 8?\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute -2, in for k, into the equation. \n" ); document.write( "If you get a true statement, then it is a solution. \n" ); document.write( "If you get a false statement, then it is not a solution.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5(-2) - 6(-2 - 1) = 8 {substituted -2 in for k} \n" ); document.write( "-10 - 6(-3) = 8 {multiplied 5 by -2 and subtracted -2 - 1} \n" ); document.write( "-10 + 18 = 8 {multiplied -6 by -3} \n" ); document.write( "8 = 8 {added -10 and 18} \n" ); document.write( "- this is a true statement\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-2 is a solution of the equation \n" ); document.write( " For more help from me, visit: www.algebrahouse.com \n" ); document.write( " |
