How can you determine whether a given number makes an equation true?

By plotting in the number in the equation (aka where all the x’s are variables are) and seeing if it works.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, let’s use the problem:

3x + 4 = 16

if the given number is 4, we fill it in for x-

3 (4) + 4= 16

solve to see if true:

12 + 4 = 16

16 = 16

hence, the given number 4 makes the equation true!

hopes this helps, have a great day :)

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
