Part 1
Is 6 a​ solution?

1 answer

To determine if \( x = 6 \) is a solution of the equation \( 9x + 5 = 56 \), we can substitute \( x \) with \( 6 \) in the equation and see if the equation holds true.

Starting with the equation:

\[ 9x + 5 = 56 \]

Substituting \( x = 6 \):

\[ 9(6) + 5 = 56 \]

Calculating \( 9(6) \):

\[ 54 + 5 = 56 \]

Now, summing \( 54 + 5 \):

\[ 59 \neq 56 \]

Since the left side does not equal the right side, \( x = 6 \) is not a solution of the equation \( 9x + 5 = 56 \).
