Spencer Huang · Answer 1

Sample response from edge nuity: Substitute 6 for the variable, n, using parentheses. Then simplify by multiplying 8 and 6. 8 (6) = 48. So you have 56 = 48, which is not a true statement. 6 is not a solution to the equation.

Gigi · Answer 2

To determine if the number is a solution to the equation, we have to substitute n with the number given.

56 = 8 + 4 (6)

56 = 8 + 24

56 = 32

So no, the number is not a solution to the equation.
