Vocabulary equation solution

An equation is a mathematical statement that two quantities are equal An equation is a mathematical statement that two quantities are equal. You can think of a correct equation as a balanced scale. 3 + 2 5

s = 12 is a solution because 12 + 15 = 27. Equations may contain variables. If a value for a variable makes an equation true, that value is a solution of the equation. s + 15 = 27 s = 12 s = 10 10 + 15 27 12 + 15 27 s = 12 is a solution because 12 + 15 = 27. s = 10 is not a solution because 10 + 15  27.

Additional Example 1A: Determining Solutions of Equations Determine whether the given value of the variable is a solution. b – 447 = 1,203 for b = 1,650 b – 447 = 1,203 1,650 – 447 = 1,203 ? Substitute 1,650 for b. 1,203 = 1,203 ? Subtract. 1,203 Because 1,203 = 1,203, 1,650 is a solution to b – 447 = 1,203.

Additional Example 1B: Determining Solutions of Equations Determine whether the given value of the variable is a solution. 27x = 1,485 for x = 54 27x = 1,485 27  54 = 1,485 ? Substitute 54 for x. 1,458 = 1,485 ? Multiply. 1,458 1,485 Because 1,458  1,485, 54 is not a solution to 27x = 1,485.

Additional Example 2: Measurement Application Paulo says that the park is 19 yards long. Jamie says that the park is 664 inches long. Determine if these two measurements are equal. 36  yd = in. 36  19 = 664 ? Substitute. 684 = 664 ? Multiply. Because 684  664, 19 yards are not equal to 664 inches.

Determine whether the given value of the variable is a solution. Check It Out! Example 1A Determine whether the given value of the variable is a solution. u + 56 = 139 for u = 73 u + 56 = 139 73 + 56 = 139 ? Substitute 73 for u. 129 = 139 ? Add. 129 139 Because 129  139, 73 is not a solution to u + 56 = 139.

Check It Out! You try this one… Determine whether the given value of the variable is a solution. 45  g = 3 for g = 15 45  g = 3 45  15 = 3 ? Substitute 15 for g. 3 = 3 ? Divide. 3 Because 3 = 3, 15 is a solution to 45  g = 3.

Check It Out! Example 2 Anna says that the table is 7 feet long. John says that the table is 84 inches long. Determine if these two measurements are equal. 12  ft = in. 12  7 = 84 ? Substitute. 84 = 84 ? Multiply. Because 84 = 84, 7 feet is equal to 84 inches.

Lesson Quiz Determine whether the given value of each variable is a solution. 1. 85 = 13x for x = 5 2. w + 38 = 210 for w = 172 3. 8y = 88 for y = 11 4. 16 = w  6 for w = 98 no yes yes no 5. The local pizza shop charged Kylee $172 for 21 medium pizzas. The price of a medium pizza is $8. Determine if Kylee paid the correct amount of money. (Hint: $8 • pizzas = total cost.) no
