The value x = 7 is a solution to all the equations below except for one of them. Which one is it not a solution to?

(a) x - 6 =1                 (b)x + 10 = 17

(c) x - 3 = 10               (d) x + 5 = 12

7 - 3 does not equal 10!

Ava scored 18 points in a basketball game. She scored seven points more than Claire. Let c be the number of points scored by Claire. Set up an equation that lets you solve for the value of c. Then, solve it for Claire’s score and place it in the box. 

Let c = number of points Claire scored 

c + 7 = 18 

c = 11
