Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substitute -4 for x in the equation and simplify:$$\frac { 1 } { 3 } ( - 4 + 6 ) = \frac { 1 } { 6 } ( - 4 ) + \frac { 4 } { 3 }$$$$\frac { 1 } { 3 } ( 2 ) = \frac { 1 } { 6 } ( - 4 ) + \frac { 4 } { 3 }$$$$\frac { 2 } { 3 } = - \frac { 2 } { 3 } + \frac { 4 } { 3 }$$$$\frac { 2 } { 3 } = \frac { 2 } { 3 }$$Since the equation is true when x = -4, -4 is a solution to the equation.
