x = ?

Answer 1

whats the answer

Answer 2

To determine which number(s) from the set {4, 5, 6} make the equation 7x - 6 = 29 true, we substitute each number into the equation and check if the equation holds true.

For x = 4:
7(4) - 6 = 28 - 6 = 22 (not equal to 29)

For x = 5:
7(5) - 6 = 35 - 6 = 29 (equals to 29)

For x = 6:
7(6) - 6 = 42 - 6 = 36 (not equal to 29)

Thus, the number that makes the equation 7x - 6 = 29 true is x = 5.
