determine if the given value is a solution.

Question

-8b+6=2;1/2

Answer 1

To determine if the given value 1/2 is a solution, we substitute it into the equation -8b + 6 = 2 and solve for b:

-8(1/2) + 6 = 2
-4 + 6 = 2
2 = 2

Since the equation is true when the value is substituted, 1/2 is indeed a solution.
