insert the answer in the equation, replacing the variable, and see if it still makes sense.
No, an equation with integer coefficients does not always have an integer solution. For example, the equation (x + 1 = 2) has an integer solution, (x = 1), but the equation (2x + 3 = 1) has no integer solution since (x = -1) is not an integer. Solutions depend on the specific equation and its constraints, and rational or real solutions may exist instead.
The equation ( x = 14 ) identifies a single integer solution, which is ( x = 14 ) itself. Since the equation specifies that ( x ) is equal to 14, there are no other integer solutions. Therefore, the only integer solution is ( {14} ).
That's an extraneous solution. You need to check for these when algebraically solving equations, especially when you take both sides of an equation to a power.
An integer is not an equation, but rather a counting number.
It seems like there is a typo or missing information in your question regarding the equation "x 12." If you meant to ask about the equation (x = 12), then the only integer solution is (x = 12). If you meant a different equation, please clarify so I can provide the correct answer.

17 is not an equation and so there can be no "solution of 17". There is, therefore, no possible answer to the question.
plug your solution back into the original equation and work it out again
how can the reflexive property be applied to check the accuracy of a solution to equation?
By substitution.
Solution. A solution of an equation is a number that satisfy the equation. This means that if you replace this number on the equation and check it, the equation will be true. When you solve an equation you can find some roots, but not all of them satisfy the equation. Thus always check your answers after resolving your equation, and eliminate as solution the answers that don't make the equation true or undefined.

If you found the value of x that is a solution to an equation, you want to substitute that value back into the original equation, to check that it indeed satisfies the equation. If it does not satisfy the equation, then you made an error in your calculations, and you need to rework the problem.

Substitute that value in the equation, and then check to see if the resulting statement is TRUE.

That simply means that there is no integer solution to:24n = 12 For comparison, 4 IS a factor; so the equation: 4n = 12 DOES have an integer solution.
