Nia solved the equation -1.98 = 5.2v + 13.1. Her answer was v = -2.9. She is fairly confident about her answer, but wants to do a quick check of her solution using estimation to make sure her answer is reasonable.

Which of the following shows a good check of her answer?

Respuesta :

Answer:

substitute for v, when v = -2.9

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-1.98=5.2v+13.1[/tex]

subtract 13.1 on both sides.

[tex]-15.08=5.2v[/tex]

divide by 5.2 to isolate v

[tex]\frac{-15.08}{5.2} = \frac{5.2v}{5.2}[/tex]

[tex]-2.9=v[/tex]

substitute for v

[tex]-1.98=5.2(-2.9)+13.1[/tex]

[tex]-1.98=-15.08+13.1[/tex]

[tex]-1.98=-1.98[/tex]
