How can you determine whether a given number makes an equation true?

By plotting in the number in the equation (aka where all the x’s are variables are) and seeing if it works.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, let’s use the problem:

3x + 4 = 16

if the given number is 4, we fill it in for x-

3 (4) + 4= 16

solve to see if true:

12 + 4 = 16

16 = 16

hence, the given number 4 makes the equation true!
