    • 3

    • -3

    • 17

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 3 because by subtracting 7 from both sides of the equation, we can isolate the variable x. x + 7 - 7 = 10 - 7 simplifies to x = 3.

    • 9/5

    • 4

    • 5

    • 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    To solve the equation 5x - 3 = 12, we need to isolate the variable x. First, we add 3 to both sides of the equation to get 5x = 15. Then, we divide both sides by 5 to solve for x, which gives us x = 3. Therefore, the correct answer is 3.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    2(x + 1) = 18

    • 9

    • 17/2

    • 2/17

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. 8
    Explanation
    To solve the equation 2(x + 1) = 18, we first distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses: 2x + 2 = 18. Then, we subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the variable: 2x = 16. Finally, we divide both sides by 2 to solve for x, which gives us x = 8. Therefore, the correct answer is 8.

    -2x = -16

    • -14

    • 8

    • 14

    • -8

    Correct Answer
    A. 8
    Explanation
    To solve the equation -2x = -16, we need to isolate x. To do this, we can divide both sides of the equation by -2. When we divide -16 by -2, we get x = 8. Therefore, the correct answer is 8.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    2x + 2 = -14

    • 6

    • -8

    • 9

    • -9

    Correct Answer
    A. -8
    Explanation
    To solve the equation 2x + 2 = -14, we need to isolate the variable x. First, we subtract 2 from both sides of the equation, which gives us 2x = -16. Then, we divide both sides by 2 to solve for x. This gives us x = -8. Therefore, the correct answer is -8.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    3x + x = 12

    • 4

    • -4

    • 3

    • -3

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    To solve the equation 3x + x = 12, we can combine the like terms on the left side of the equation. 3x + x is equal to 4x. So the equation becomes 4x = 12. To isolate x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 4. This gives us x = 3. Therefore, the answer is 3.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    X - 4 = 10 - x enter only your answer (#) in the blank

    Correct Answer
    x=7, 7
    Explanation
    In the given equation, x - 4 = 10 - x, we need to find the value of x. To solve this equation, we can start by combining like terms. Adding x to both sides of the equation gives us 2x - 4 = 10. Next, we can add 4 to both sides to isolate the x term. This results in 2x = 14. Finally, dividing both sides by 2 gives us x = 7. Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the equation is 7.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    5x + 7 = 3x + 13

    • 10

    • 5/2

    • 5

    • 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    To find the value of x in the equation 5x + 7 = 3x + 13, we need to isolate the variable x. We can do this by subtracting 3x from both sides of the equation, which gives us 2x + 7 = 13. Then, we subtract 7 from both sides to get 2x = 6. Finally, dividing both sides by 2, we find that x = 3.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    6 = -x + 1

    • -7

    • -6

    • -5

    • -4

    Correct Answer
    A. -5
    Explanation
    The equation 6 = -x + 1 can be solved by isolating the variable x. To do this, we subtract 1 from both sides of the equation, which gives us 5 = -x. To solve for x, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to get x = -5. Therefore, the correct answer is -5.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    -3(x - 2) = 12enter only your answer (#) in the blank

    Correct Answer
    -2
    Explanation
    The given equation is -3(x - 2) = 12. To solve this equation, we first distribute the -3 to both terms inside the parentheses, which gives us -3x + 6 = 12. Next, we isolate the variable by subtracting 6 from both sides, resulting in -3x = 6. Finally, we divide both sides by -3 to solve for x, giving us x = -2. Therefore, the correct answer is -2.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    X - 3 = 3x + 5enter only your answer (#) in the blank

    Correct Answer
    -4
    Explanation
    To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x. We can do this by moving the terms involving x to one side of the equation and the constant terms to the other side. By adding 3 to both sides of the equation, we get x - 3 + 3 = 3x + 5 + 3, which simplifies to x = 3x + 8. Next, we subtract 3x from both sides to get x - 3x = 3x - 3x + 8, which simplifies to -2x = 8. Finally, we divide both sides by -2 to solve for x, resulting in x = -4.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    10x - 2x + 7 = 2x + 13

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3/5

    • -1

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    The given equation is a linear equation in one variable. To solve it, we need to simplify and isolate the variable. By combining like terms, we get 8x + 7 = 2x + 13. Next, we can subtract 2x from both sides to get 6x + 7 = 13. Then, by subtracting 7 from both sides, we obtain 6x = 6. Finally, dividing both sides by 6, we find that x = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.
