Math – Step 3: Backsolving

 

Key Takeaways

 

  • When we have numbers as our answer choices we can start with an answer choice and check it with the question
  • We should start with one of the two middle answer choices, because if the answer doesn’t work we may be able to tell if we need a smaller or larger number
  • If you feel like you could set up an equation but aren’t sure how or just don’t want to, you can try backsolving
