Create an Equation with a Given Solution

Directions: Using the digits 0 to 9 at most one time each, fill in the boxes to write three equations whose solution is -1/2.

Hint

What does it mean to be a solution of the equation?
How would you check if a value is a solution to an equation?
What kind of numbers would you put in for the coefficients of x?

Answer

There are many arrangements. Here is one set.
2x + 5 = 4x + 6
2x + 7 = 4x + 8
8x + 5 = 4x + 3

  44. Create an Equation with a Given Solution
    Directions: Using the digits 0 to 9 at most one time each, fill in the boxes to write three equations whose solution is -1/2
    _x + _ =_x + _ -> original problem
    6x +9 =4x +8 -> my attempt

  45. 4x + 7 = 6x + 8 —> -1 = 2x —> -0.5 = x
    2x + 3 = 6x + 5 —> -2 = 4x —> -0.5 = x
    4x + 5 = 8x + 7 —> -2 = 4x —> -0.5 = x
