Is u = 11 a solution to this equation?

Question

39 =
6 +
u
Yes or no

Answer 1

To determine if \( u = 11 \) is a solution to the equation \( 39 = 6 + u \), we can substitute \( u \) with \( 11 \) and check if the equation holds true.

Substituting:

\[ 39 = 6 + 11 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ 6 + 11 = 17 \]

So the equation becomes:

\[ 39 = 17 \]

This statement is false.

Therefore, \( u = 11 \) is not a solution to the equation. The answer is no.
