You can check an answer by substituting it into the equation.

x - 17 = 11

25 - 17 = 11

8 = 11

Since this is not true, 25 is not the answer.

How to make an equation equaling six or three.?

An equation never equals a number, but its solution often does.-- An equation with a solution of six: [ 3x - 14 = 4 ]-- An equation with a solution of three: [ 14 - 10x = -16 ]-- An equation with both solutions: [ x2 - 9x + 20 = 2 ]An equation that equals 6 is 10 - 4 = 6An equation that equals 3 is 10 - 7 = 3


What is the extraneous solution to w equals sqrt 7w?

An "extraneous solution" is not a characteristic of an equation, but has to do with the methods used to solve it. Typically, if you square both sides of the equation, and solve the resulting equation, you might get additional solutions that are not part of the original equation. Just do this, and check each of the solutions, whether it satisfies the original equation. If one of them doesn't, it is an "extraneous" solution introduced by the squaring.


Is x equals 1 a solution of the equation 2 - 8x?

No. That is because 2 - 8x is an algebraic expression, not an equation. And since it is not an equation, it does not have a solution.
