Answer: Substitution

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a substitute teacher. They temporarily replace your original teacher. The same idea applies with replacing the variable with a number.

For example, the equation x+2 = 7 has the solution x = 5. We can check this by substituting or replacing x with 5 to say 5+2 = 7, which is indeed a true mathematical statement. This confirms the solution.
