Is x = 1 a solution of the equation 2 – 8x = –6?

Let's verify by substituting 1 to x.

2 - 8x = -6

2 - 8(1) = -6

2 - 8 = -6

-6 = -6

It is equal, therefore x = 1 is the solution.

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 1 into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then it is a solution.

2 - 8(1) = 2 - 8 = - 6 = right side

Thus x = 1 is a solution of the equation
