Answer:
Is 59 equal to (6x + 5)?
If so than your answer is: x = 9 [The value of x is 9]
Explanation:
Given 59 = (6x + 5), x is the value that makes 59 = 59.
Therefore:
59 = (6x + 5)
*given*
59 =(6x + 5)
-5 -5
*subtraction property of equality*
54 = 6x
÷6 ÷6
*division property of equality*
9 = x
x = 9
*symmetric property of equality*
_________________________
To check just substitute, simplify, and make sure 59 = 59:
x = 9 → 59 = (6x + 5) → 59 = (6(9) + 5) → 59 = (54 + 5) → 59 = 59
