Detailed Answer Key

Question 1 :

Find the solution of the equation if the replacement set is {10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}.

3x - 7  =  29

Solution :

we may decide that the particular value is the solution if it satisfies the given equation.

x = 10

3(10) - 7  =  29

30 - 7  =  29

23  ≠  29 (False)

So, 10 is not the solution of the given equation.

x = 11

3(11) - 7  =  29

33 - 7  =  29

26  ≠  29 (False)

So, 11 is not the solution of the given equation.

x = 12

3(12) - 7  =  29

36 - 7  =  29

29  ≠  29 (True)

So, 12 is the solution of the given equation.

Question 2 :

Find the solution of the equation if the replacement set is {10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}.

12(x - 8)  =  84

Solution :

We may decide that the particular value is the solution if it satisfies the given equation.

x = 10

12(10 - 8)  =  84

12(2)  =  84

24  ≠  84 (False)

So, 10 is not the solution of the given equation.

x = 11

12(11 - 8)  =  84

12(3)  =  84

36  ≠  84 (False)

So, 11 is not the solution of the given equation.

x = 12

12(12 - 8)  =  84

12(4)  =  84

48  ≠  84 (False)

So, 11 is not the solution of the given equation.

Question 3 :

Find the solution of the equation if the replacement set is {1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 5/4}.

x + (2/5)  =  23/20  

Solution :

We may decide that the particular value is the solution if it satisfies the given equation.

x = 1/4

(1/4) + (2/5)  =  23/20  

(5 + 8)/20  =  23/20

13/20  ≠  23/20 (False)

So, 1/4 is not the solution of the given equation.

x = 1/2

(1/2) + (2/5)  =  23/20  

(5 + 4)/10  =  23/20

9/10  ≠  23/20 (False)

So, 1/2 is not the solution of the given equation.

x = 3/4

(3/4) + (2/5)  =  23/20  

(15 + 8)/20  =  23/20

23/20  ≠  23/20 (True)

So, 3/4 is not the solution of the given equation.
