About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students substitute given values to determine whether equations and inequalities are true.
  • Students identify solutions from candidate values, including values at inequality boundaries.
  • Students explain why a substituted value does or does not satisfy a track meet requirement.

How to use

Have students show each substitution on scratch paper before recording an answer. Discuss the difference between an exact result and a qualifying limit.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

6.EE.B.5

Track Meet: Check the Results Board

Substitute values to decide whether equations and inequalities are true.

Exact Results

A solution makes a statement true when substituted for the variable. Test the given values rather than guessing.

1.
A relay team's total time is 58 seconds. The first three runners took 43 seconds altogether. The last runner's time, x seconds, must satisfy 43 + x = 58. Which check shows a solution?
  • A. For x = 16, 43 + 16 = 58.
  • B. For x = 15, 43 + 15 = 58.
  • C. For x = 14, 43 + 14 = 58.
  • D. For x = 18, 43 + 18 = 58.
2.
The results board uses 6x = 42 to check a team's points from x first-place finishes worth 6 points each. Test x = 7.

After substitution, the left side equals  .

3.
The board compares two scoring methods using 3x + 4 = 2x + 9. Select every listed value of x that makes the equation true.
