SOLUTION:
Case: Simple equation
Given:
7x – 5 = 23 + 10
Required:
Is the equation a true statement when x = 3?
Method:
Step 1: Rewrite the equation
7x – 5 = 23 + 10
Step 2: Plug the value x= 3 into the equation
7x – 5 = 23 + 10
7(3) - 5 = 33
21 - 5 = 33
16 is not equal to 33
Final answer:
B. No, 3 is not a solution.
