Find a value for x that makes the equation true.

2x + 3 = 20.

• x = 8.5

• x = 8

• x = 9

• x = 10

For the equation -2(x - 4) = 4, determine if x = 2 is a solution.

• Yes, x = 2 is a solution.

• No, x = 2 is not a solution.

Determine if x = 2 is a solution of the equation 26/x = 13.

• x = 2 is a solution since 26/2 equals 13.

• x = 2 is not a solution because 26/2 does not equal 13.

• x = 2 is not a valid substitution for this equation.

• None of the above.
