You can put this solution on YOUR website!
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.

17-x=11
17-%28-6%29=11
17%2B6=11
23=11
23 on the left side does NOT equal to 11 on the right side, so
this is NOT correct.

x%2F6=1
%28-6%29%2F6=1
-1=1
-1 on the left side does NOT equal to 1 on the right side, so
this is NOT correct.

x%2B9=3
%28-6%29%2B9=3
-6%2B9=3
3=3
3 on the left side DOES equal to 3 on the right side, so
this IS correct.

11x=66
11%28-6%29=66
-66=66
-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.
