Use subscription to determine which number from the set {6, 7, 8} make the equation 54/ x=9

1 answer

To determine which number from the set {6, 7, 8} satisfies the equation 54/x = 9, we can substitute each number into the equation one by one and check if it holds true.

To find the value of x, we need to find a number which, when divided into 54, gives us a quotient of 9.

Substituting the first number, 6, into the equation:
54/6 = 9
9 = 9

The equation holds true for x = 6.

Substituting the second number, 7, into the equation:
54/7 = 7.71 (approximation)
7.71 ≠ 9

The equation does not hold true for x = 7.

Substituting the third number, 8, into the equation:
54/8 = 6.75 (approximation)
6.75 ≠ 9

The equation does not hold true for x = 8.

Therefore, the only number from the set {6, 7, 8} that satisfies the equation 54/x = 9 is x = 6.
