One-Variable Equations
Overview
We can solve one-variable equations and inequalities by plugging in the unknown
number. For example…
In which equation does x = 4?
A. 2 + x = 4
B. 2 + x = 6
Since we know the value of x, we simply need to plug it into each equation to see if it gives us the correct result.
Choice A is incorrect because we do not get the correct answer when we plug the number in for x.
Choice B is correct because we do get the correct answer when we plug the number in for x.

In which equation does x = 4?
A.
B.
C.
x + 7 = 11
(4) + 7 = 11
In which equation does n = 7
A. 3n + 4 = 10
B. 5n – 4 = 10
C. n + 3 = 10
n + 3 = 10
(7) + 3 = 10

A.
B.
C.
In which equation does p = 6?
A. p – 2 = 4
B. p + 5 = 4
C. p x 3 = 4
p – 2 = 4
(6) – 2 = 4
In which equation does w = 9?
A.
B.
C.
w + 5 = 14
(9) + 5 = 14
