Worked examples
RookieRead and interpret directly.
If x = 7, what is x + 3?
- 10
- 7
- 3
- 73
Answer: 10. Substitute and add.
ProCompare and infer.
Which is an expression (not equation)?
- 3x + 2
- 3x + 2 = 14
- x = 5
- x + 3 = 3 + x
Answer: 3x + 2. No equals sign.
GuruMulti-step reasoning.
Why does x = 5 satisfy x + 3 = 8 but not 2x = 12?
- A solution must make THAT equation true; 5 works for the first only.
- x always = 5.
- Equations are unrelated.
- Wrong.
Answer: A solution must make THAT equation true; 5 works for the first only.. Solution = makes equation true.
