2.1 Equations, Formulas, and the Problem-Solving Process 1. Verify solutions to equations. 2. Use formulas to solve problems.
What’s the difference? Expression Equation Simplified Solved Equation: Two expressions set equal. False True Solution: A number that makes an equation true when it replaces the variable in the equation.
To Check a Possible Solution • Replace the variable in the equation with the value. • If the resulting equation is true, the value is a solution.
Solutions Is a = 12 a solution? Use parentheses! NO
Solutions Is a solution? Yes
