Which statement is true? a. 2x – 1 = 13 and x = 6 b. 2x – 1 = 13 and x = 7 c. 2x + 1 = 13 and x = 7 d. 2x – 1 = 13 and x = 11

B. 2x – 1 = 13 and x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 4 equations and a solution for each. We have to tell which of the given solution satisfies the given equation.

Option A.

2x -1 = 13 and x = 6

Using this value in the equation, we get:

2(6) -1 = 13

12 - 1 = 13

11 = 13, which is not true. Hence this option is not valid

Option B.

2x - 1 = 13 and x = 7

Using the value in the equation, we get:

2(7) - 1 =13

14 - 1 =13

13 = 13, which is true. Hence this option is valid.

Option C.

2x + 1 =13 and x = 7

Using the value in the equation, we get:

2(7) + 1 = 13

15 = 13, which is not true. So this option is not valid

Option D.

2x - 1 = 13 and x = 11

Using this value in the equation, we get:

2(11) - 1 = 13

21 = 13, which is not true. Hence this option is not valid.
