To solve the equation 5 - 8x = 7t when x = 1 and t = -3, substitute the values of x and t into the equation.

5 - 8(1) = 7(-3) 5 - 8 = -21 -3 = -21

Therefore, the equation is not true when x = 1 and t = -3.

Well, in that case, 5 - 8(1) = 7(-3), or 5 - 8 = -21, or -3 = -21, so no.

No. That would be incorrect. x would have to be 5 and t would have to be -5 for the equation to work out. With these values for x and t, each side of the equation would be equal to -35.
