Answer:
a. No
b. Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
x - 4 = 12
x - 4 + 4 = 12 + 4
x = 16
16 ≠ 8
Therefore, the following value given for problem a is not a solution to the given equation.
b. (3 + x)/4 = 3
(3 + x)/4 * 4 = 3 * 4
3 + x = 12
3 + x - 3 = 12 - 3
x = 9
9 = 9
Therefore, the following value given for problem b is a solution to the given equation.
