6.EE.B.5 Tutor Intake -- Solving Equations and Inequalities as Questions

This short check helps your tutor see where to start. Work each problem on
your own, without a calculator unless a problem says otherwise. If you are
not sure, give your best try — every answer helps your tutor plan your
first few sessions.

A

Concepts

1

What is the key difference between the expression x+4x + 4 and the
equation x+4=9x + 4 = 9?

2

For the equation y−2=6y - 2 = 6, a student substitutes y=9y = 9 and
computes 9−2=79 - 2 = 7. Since the equation requires the result to
equal 6, does y=9y = 9 satisfy the equation? Enter 1 for yes or 0
for no.

3

How does the number of solutions typically differ between a
one-variable equation and a one-variable inequality when tested
against a candidate set?

B

Procedures

1

Does m=6m = 6 satisfy the equation m+5=11m + 5 = 11? Enter 1 for yes or
0 for no.

2

Test the equation k−3=10k - 3 = 10 against the candidate set
{9,11,13,15}\{9, 11, 13, 15\}. Which value of kk from the set is the
solution? If none of the candidates work, enter 0.

3

Does x=3x = 3 satisfy the inequality 4x>104x > 10? Enter 1 for yes or
0 for no.

4

Test the inequality 3x<153x < 15 against the candidate set
{2,3,4,5,6}\{2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}. Which set of values are ALL the solutions?
