6=8-5(7•-1)

Let's simplify the right side of the equation step by step to see if \( 6 = 8 - 5(7 \cdot -1) \) holds true.

First, calculate \( 7 \cdot -1 \):

\[ 7 \cdot -1 = -7 \]

Now, substitute this back into the equation:

\[ 6 = 8 - 5(-7) \]

Next, calculate \( 5 \cdot -7 \):

\[ 5(-7) = -35 \]

So now substitute this back into the equation:

\[ 6 = 8 - (-35) \]

Since subtracting a negative is the same as adding:

\[ 6 = 8 + 35 \]

Adding \( 8 \) and \( 35 \):

\[ 6 = 43 \]

This is not true, so the equation \( 6 = 8 - 5(7 \cdot -1) \) does not hold. The equation is incorrect.
