Checking a solution
Unlimited questions of this kind are generated in the app. Two examples:
Problem 1
Is x = 9 a solution of 5x = 45?
- Yes
- No
- Only sometimes
- Cannot tell
Worked answer
Yes
5 × 9 = 45
That matches, so yes
Problem 2
Is x = 6 a solution of 6x = 48?
- Yes
- No
- Only sometimes
- Cannot tell
Worked answer
No
6 × 6 = 36
That is not 48, so no
