Determine if the given value is a solution to the equation.

Question

4x-1=7; x=2

is x=2 a solution of the equation 4x-1=7

A. yes

B. no

Answer 1

To determine if x=2 is a solution of the equation 4x-1=7, we substitute x=2 into the equation and see if it is true.

4(2) - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

The equation is true when x=2. Therefore, x=2 is a solution of the equation.
