Question

Explain how you know that 88 is a solution to the equation 1/8x=11  by completing the sentences:

The word "solution" means . . .

88 is a solution to 1/8x=11  because . . .

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

solution means root

we take 1/8 to rhs it becomes 8

so 11*8 = 88

so x = 88

hope it helps

Answer 2

The word "solution" means to find the value of a variable in an expression or simplify the question.

• For example, the solution of (5+3) is 8.

88 is a solution to 1/(8x)=11  because of the following reasons:

Given,

1/8(x)= 21

To find,

The value of x.

Solution,

The value of x will be 88.

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

According to the question,

1/8 × (x) = 11

x/8 = 11

Using the cross multiplication method,

(x) = (11×8)

x = 88

Hence, we know that after solving the equation for x we find that its value (or solution) is 88.
