Solve the following equation: 8 = -6x + 2x
- A.
X = -2
- B.
X = 2
- C.
X = 1
- D.
X = -1
Correct Answer
A. X = -2Explanation
To solve the equation, we need to combine like terms on the right side of the equation. -6x and 2x are like terms, so we can combine them to get -4x. The equation then becomes 8 = -4x. To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by -4. This gives us x = -2. Therefore, the correct answer is x = -2.Rate this question:

- A.
X = 1
- B.
X = 6
- C.
X = -6
- D.
X = -1
Correct Answer
C. X = -6Explanation
To solve the equation, we need to simplify it by combining like terms. On the right side of the equation, we have 4x and -5x, which can be combined to give -x. So, the equation becomes 4 = -x - 2. To isolate x, we can add x to both sides, resulting in 4 + x = -2. Next, we can subtract 4 from both sides to get x = -6. Therefore, the correct answer is x = -6.Rate this question:

Solve the following equation: 2(x + 4) - 6 = 14
- A.
X = 8
- B.
X = -8
- C.
X = -6
- D.
X = 6
Correct Answer
D. X = 6Explanation
By solving the equation step by step, we can find the value of x.
First, we distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses: 2x + 8 - 6 = 14.
Next, we combine like terms: 2x + 2 = 14.
Then, we subtract 2 from both sides: 2x = 12.
Finally, we divide both sides by 2 to isolate x: x = 6.
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 6.Rate this question:

- C.
X = 2
- D.
X = 4
Correct Answer
B. X = -6Explanation
The given equation is 5x - 3x = 16 + 7x + 8 + 6. Simplifying both sides of the equation, we get 2x = 30 + 7x. Rearranging the terms, we have -5x = 30. Dividing both sides by -5, we find that x = -6.Rate this question:

Solve the following inequality: -5x > -45
- A.
X > -9
- B.
X > 9
- C.
X < 9
- D.
X < -9
Correct Answer
C. X < 9Explanation
To solve the inequality -5x > -45, we need to isolate the variable x. We can do this by dividing both sides of the inequality by -5. However, when dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign must be flipped. Dividing both sides by -5 gives us x < 9, which means that any value of x that is less than 9 will satisfy the inequality.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. N > 11Explanation
The inequality states that 0 is less than n - 11. To solve this inequality, we can add 11 to both sides of the equation to isolate n. This gives us n > 11, which means that n is greater than 11.Rate this question:
