Question

Using substitution, which number from the set {8, 12, 16, 20} makes the equation ¾ + 2 = 5 true?

Answer 1

Let's substitute each number from the set into the equation and see which one makes it true:

1. For 8: 3/4 + 2 = 5
2. For 12: 3/4 + 2 = 5
3. For 16: 3/4 + 2 = 5
4. For 20: 3/4 + 2 = 5

None of the numbers from the set {8, 12, 16, 20} make the equation 3/4 + 2 = 5 true.
