MATCHING EQUATIONS AND SOLUTIONS

TASK 1 Choose the solution

The equations in the table have one of these solutions: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7

Use substitution to match each of the equations below to one of these solutions.

Be careful: One of these numbers is not a solution to any of the equations.

1 k+6=7 k= 2t - 4 t=
2 =2
3

3r r= 4 4(m + 2) = 20 m=
3 + 7 = 10
2

5 3(x – 1) + 2 = 20 x= 6 5s – 6 = 3s + 2 s=

TASK 2 Equations with solution k = 6

All the equations below have the same solution: k = 6

k -2
k + 5 = 11 2k = 12 =1 7k = 5k + 12 9(10 – 2k) = –3k
4

Create some other equations that also have the solution k = 6.
