Practice

For each of the following equations, state whether they are true or false.

a 3+8=15−4

b. x+20=3x, if x=10

Now you try

For each of the following equations, state whether they are true or false.

PROBLEM-SOLVING

1) Write equations for each of the following problems. You do not need to solve the equations.

a A number x is doubled and then 7 is added. The result is 10.

b The sum of x and half of x is 12.

2) Find the value of the unknown number for each of the following.

a A number is tripled to obtain the result 21.

b Half of a number is 21

REASONING

a Why is x = 3 a solution to x² = 9?

b Why is x = −3 a solution to x² = 9?

c Find the two solutions to x² = 64. (Hint: One is negative.)

d Explain why x² = 0 has only one solution, but x2 = 1 has two.

e Explain why x² = −9 has no solutions
