First, we can start by rewriting the equation as:
54/x = 9
Now we can use substitution by trying each number from the set {6, 7, 8} as the value of x and seeing which one makes the equation true:
If x = 6:
54/6 = 9
9 = 9
This means that x = 6 is a solution to the equation.
If x = 7:
54/7 ≈ 7.71
7.71 ≠ 9
This means that x = 7 is not a solution to the equation.
If x = 8:
54/8 = 6.75
6.75 ≠ 9
This means that x = 8 is not a solution to the equation.
Therefore, the only solution that makes the equation true is x = 6.
Use substitution to determine which number from the set {6, 7, 8} makes the equation 54÷x=9 true.(1 point)
x=
