Working Backwards & Checking

Solve and Double-Check

If you’re stuck, try starting from the answer choices and working backward. Plug each option into the problem to see which one fits. Always check your work to catch mistakes and make sure your answer makes sense.

  • Try each answer choice in the problem if you’re unsure.
  • Review your steps and make sure your answer is reasonable.

This strategy helps you avoid careless mistakes and find the best solution.

Examples

  • Substituting answer choices for 'x' to see which one makes the equation true.

  • Re-reading the problem and checking calculations before moving on.
