Hence, the answer in place of the blank is:

Substitute.

Answer 2

To evaluate a variable expression, you must "substitute" values for the variable, and then calculate the result.
While solving equations, we try hit and trial method. in this method we use different possible solutions, solve the equation to see if it is working out or not. The roots that we try substituing are totaly based on guess.
