Maria did the work to see if 8 is a solution to the equation s minus 3 = 11.
s minus 3 = 11. 8 minus 3 = 11. 5 = 11.
Does her work show that 8 is a solution to the equation?
Yes, because the last line of the work is true.
Yes, because 11 minus 8 equals 3.
No, because 8 is even and the other numbers in the equation are odd.
No, because the last line of the work is not true. 5 and 11 are not equal.
