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.
Answer:
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
