Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. Show your work when checking solutions.

Determine if the given value is a solution to the equation. Mark True or False.

1. Is x = 5 a solution to the equation 3x + 2 = 17?

True

False

2. Is y = 8 a solution to the equation 24 / y = 4?

True

False

Check if the given value is a solution to the equation. Show your work.

3. Is m = 12 a solution to the equation m - 7 = 5?

4. Is p = 3 a solution to the equation 6p = 18?

Complete the statements below.

5. To check if a value is a solution to an equation, substitute the value for the in the equation.

6. If both sides of the equation are after substitution, then the value is a solution.

Equations can be thought of as a balance. The value on one side must be equal to the value on the other side.

7. If the equation is 4 + x = 10, what value of x would make both sides of the balance equal?
