Amanda solves the equation 6x+9=57. She gets the answer x=0.5. Do you agree with Amanda? Explain your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 9 = 57

6x = 57 - 9

6x = 48

x = 48/6

x = 8

no ... I dont agree with Amanda.

I arrived at x = 8 ... and this can be confirmed by subbing in 8 for x back into the original equation.

6x + 9 = 57 ... x = 8

6 (8) + 9 = 57

48 + 9 = 57

57 = 57 (correct)

Answer:x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+9=57

-9 - 9

6x=48

6*/6=48/6

*=8
