Use substitution to determine which number(s) from the set {4, 5, 6} make the equation 7x−6=29 true.(1 point)

1 answer

Let's substitute each number from the set {4, 5, 6} into the equation and see which one(s) make it true.

For 4:
7(4) - 6 = 29
28 - 6 = 29
22 = 29 (not true)

For 5:
7(5) - 6 = 29
35 - 6 = 29
29 = 29 (true)

For 6:
7(6) - 6 = 29
42 - 6 = 29
36 = 29 (not true)

Therefore, the number from the given set that makes the equation true is 5.
