Question

is X equals 0.5 a solution to 3X+5= 6 1/3?yes or no

Answer 1

Given:

Is x = 0.5 a solution of

$3x+5=6\frac{1}{3}$

To find:

Yes or no.

Explanation:

Substituting the value x = 0.5 on the left-hand side of the equation,

$\begin{gathered} 3(0.5)+5=1.5+5 \\ =6.5 \\ =6\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$

So,

$6\frac{1}{2}\ne6\frac{1}{3}$

Since it doesn't satisfy the equation.

So, x = 0.5 is not a solution.
