Possible Results in Solving an Equation equation vs. expression The other number when the sum of two numbers is ... Solve, find. Homework. Solve.

When solving an equation, if you get

(variable) = (constant)
ex. y = -3
ex. x = 4
that's the solution.
(constant) = (constant)
ex. 9 = 9
ex. 9 = 4 + 5
8 - 1 = 3 + 4
0 = 0
all numbers are solutions.
(constant) = (different constant)
ex. 0 = 1
ex. 4 = 3
9 = -2
there are no solutions.

Find:

The other number when x is one number and the sum of the two numbers is 15.

(sum) = 15

(one number) + (other number) = 15

x + (other number) = 	15
-x 				-x
____________________________________
 (other number) =		15 - x

The other number is 15 - x.

Solve, find.
