Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Solve for x in this equation: x + 41 = 56

    • A.

      X = 10

    • B.

      X = 12

    • C.

      X = 15

    • D.

      X = 20

    Correct Answer
    C. X = 15
    Explanation
    To solve the equation x + 41 = 56, we need to isolate the variable x. To do this, we subtract 41 from both sides of the equation. This gives us x = 15. Therefore, the correct answer is X = 15.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    3 + (-2) = y.   What is the value for y?

    • A.

      1

    • B.

      -1

    • C.

      2

    • D.

      -2

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    To solve this equation, we need to add 3 and -2. When we add a positive number and a negative number, we subtract the smaller number from the larger one and give the result the sign of the larger number. In this case, 3 is larger than 2, so we subtract 2 from 3, resulting in 1. Since the larger number is positive, the result is also positive. Therefore, the value of y is 1.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    7 + (-5) x 3 = ..

    • A.

      22

    • B.

      6

    • C.

      36

    • D.

      -8

    Correct Answer
    D. -8
    Explanation
    The expression 7 + (-5) x 3 can be solved using the order of operations, which states that multiplication should be done before addition. First, we multiply -5 by 3, which equals -15. Then, we add 7 to -15, resulting in -8. Therefore, the correct answer is -8.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    13 x (-4) - (-3) = ...

    • A.

      -52

    • B.

      61

    • C.

      -49

    • D.

      49

    Correct Answer
    C. -49
    Explanation
    To solve this expression, we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). First, we multiply 13 by -4, which gives us -52. Then, we subtract -3 from -52. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart, so -52 - (-3) becomes -52 + 3, which equals -49. Therefore, the correct answer is -49.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    40 : (-8) = ...

    • A.

      320

    • B.

      -5

    • C.

      8

    • D.

      5

    Correct Answer
    C. 8
    Explanation
    The given question is asking for the value that, when divided by -8, gives a result of 40. To find this value, we can multiply 40 by -8, which equals -320. Therefore, the correct answer is -320.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Solve for p. p=888+99

    • A.

      90

    • B.

      11

    • C.

      987

    • D.

      900

    Correct Answer
    C. 987
    Explanation
    To solve for p, we need to evaluate the expression 888 + 99. Adding these two numbers gives us 987. Therefore, the value of p is 987.

    • C.

      X>1

    • D.

      X>2

    Correct Answer
    A. X<1
    Explanation
    The given inequality is x + 7 < 8. To solve this inequality, we subtract 7 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable x. This gives us x < 1, which means that the value of x is less than 1.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What's the dependent variable? X=5a

    • A.

      X

    • B.

      A

    • C.

      5

    • D.

      Not given

    Correct Answer
    C. 5
    Explanation
    The dependent variable in this question is 5. This is because the value of X is determined by the value of a, and in this case, a is given as 5. Therefore, the value of X is 5 times 5, which equals 25.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A + 9 = 20

    • A.

      9

    • B.

      10

    • C.

      20

    • D.

      11

    Correct Answer
    D. 11
    Explanation
    The given equation is "a + 9 = 20". To find the value of 'a', we need to subtract 9 from both sides of the equation. This will give us "a = 20 - 9", which simplifies to "a = 11". Therefore, the correct answer is 11.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What is the value of 'b' in the equation? b - 6 = -9

    • A.

      2

    • B.

      -3

    • C.

      3

    • D.

      -15

    Correct Answer
    B. -3
    Explanation
    In the equation b - 6 = -9, we need to find the value of b. To isolate b, we can add 6 to both sides of the equation. This will give us b = -3. Therefore, the value of b is -3.
