- B.
  
  1.5
- C.
  
  15
- D.
  
  32
Correct Answer
A. -1.5

Explanation
The correct answer is -1.5 because when we solve the equation -4x - 2 = 4, we need to isolate the variable x. First, we add 2 to both sides of the equation to get -4x = 6. Then, we divide both sides by -4 to solve for x, which gives us x = -1.5.

9.

In the equation 7 - 2x = 15, the value of x is -4
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
In the equation 7 - 2x = 15, we can solve for x by isolating it on one side of the equation. Subtracting 7 from both sides gives -2x = 8. Dividing both sides by -2 gives x = -4. Therefore, the value of x in the equation is indeed -4, making the statement true.

Rate this question:
10.

In the equation 4(x - 3) = 24, the value of x is -3
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
In the equation 4(x - 3) = 24, the value of x is not -3. To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation. First, we can distribute the 4 to the terms inside the parentheses, giving us 4x - 12 = 24. Then, we can add 12 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable, resulting in 4x = 36. Finally, dividing both sides by 4 gives us x = 9. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
