[6+1/2x]=14;-40, how do i decide whether the given number is a solution of the equation?
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute -40 for x and see if you get a true statement.
\n" ); document.write( "|6+(1/2)(-40)|=14
\n" ); document.write( "|6-20|=14
\n" ); document.write( "|-14|=14
\n" ); document.write( "14=14
\n" ); document.write( "It is true so -40 is a solution.
