Testing Solutions to Equations with Substitution

The video tutorial explains how to solve the equation 5x - 3 = 4x + 3 by testing different values for x. It walks through the process of verifying whether x = 5, x = 6, or x = 7 satisfies the equation. The tutorial demonstrates that x = 6 is the correct solution, as it makes both sides of the equation equal. The video emphasizes understanding the process of testing solutions and verifying results.

What is the equation given in the video?

• 5x - 3 = 4x + 3

• 5x + 3 = 4x - 3

• 5x - 3 = 4x - 3

• 5x + 3 = 4x + 3

What is the goal of the video?

• To graph the equation

• To find the value of y

• To find a value of x that satisfies the equation

• To solve for z
