Yes

No

1 answer

To determine if Keith's guess of 8 is correct for the equation "? 2 = 4", we need to solve the equation.

If we denote the unknown number as "x", the equation can be rewritten as:

x * 2 = 4 (assuming "?" represents multiplication)

To solve for x, we divide both sides by 2:

x = 4 / 2 x = 2

Since Keith guessed 8 and the correct solution is 2, Keith does not have the correct solution.

So the answer is No.
