Describe how Jason can check his answer
The equation that was given in the question is:
[tex] - 8.5 \times - 3.5 \times = - 78[/tex]
Also,the value of x given is 6.5
Therefore, we'll put the value of x back into the equation and this will be:
[tex] - 8.5 \times - 3.5 \times = - 78 \\ - 8.5(6.5) - 3.5(6.5) \\ - 55.25 + - 22.75 \\ = - 78[/tex]
Therefore, the answer is correct
