Recall the following:
LINEAR EQUATION - Solve for x in the following equation.
Problem 6a:
The answer is x=-5
Check the solution by substituting -5 in the original equation
for x. If the left side of the equation equals the right side of the
equation after the substitution, you have found the correct answer.
Since the left side of the original equation equals the right side of the original equation when the value 1 is substituted for x, the solution x = -5 is verified.
