$$7x-105+3=108$$  

$$7\left(x-15\right)-5=0$$  

$$7x-102\ -\ 8\ =\ 0$$  

$$7x-15+3=8$$  

$$7x-105+3=0$$  

$$7x-102-5=0$$

What do all of these responses have in common?

How can you find the value(s) of x that make the equation true for equation(s) in factored form like the one below?

(x - 10)(x + 3) = 0

What value(s) of x has to be a solution for equations without a constant like the one below?

x² - 7x = 0

Why doesn't the approach you took on #1 work for the equation below?

(x - 10)(x + 3) = 1

For each equation, state whether or not the solution is valid.

Multiple Choice

2(x - 1) + 4 = 3x - 2

2x - 2 + 4 = 3x - 2

2x = 3x

-x = 0

x = 0

• Correct!

• Incorrect!

Multiple Choice

3(x - 1) = 5x + 6

3x - 1 = 5x + 6

-1 = 2x + 6

-7 = 2x

-3.5 = x

• Correct!

• Incorrect!

Multiple Choice

(x - 2)(x + 3) = x + 10

x² + x - 6 = x + 10

x² - 6 = 10

x² = 16

x = 4

• Correct!

• Incorrect!
