What's on the worksheet

  1. Substitute the value, work out each side, and say if it is a solution.
    n + 26 = 61,\ \ n = 3548 - w = 19,\ \ w = 279b = 72,\ \ b = 9\dfrac{56}{d} = 7,\ \ d = 73.5 + y = 6,\ \ y = 3.5
  2. Explain each student's mistake in checking a value and give the correct conclusion.
  3. Find the number in the box so that x = 3 is a solution, and check whether x = 4 is too.
  4. Word problem: check how many dictionaries fit within the bookshelf's weight limit.
  5. Write equations from the set 1 to 6 that have a stated solution, and show the checks.
