Algebra Questions

Multiple choice

Solve the equation $-1\left[ 7x+6-7\left( x+1 \right) \right] =-4x-6$
  1. $\displaystyle\left\{ -1 \right\} $
  2. $\left\{ -\displaystyle\frac { 7 }{ 4 } \right\} $
  3. $\left\{ -\displaystyle\frac { 19 }{ 7 } \right\} $
  4. $\left\{ -\displaystyle\frac { 19 }{ 4 } \right\} $

B Correct answer
Explanation

-1[7x + 6 - 7x - 7] = -4x - 6. -1[-1] = -4x - 6. 1 = -4x - 6. 7 = -4x. x = -7/4.

Multiple choice

Solve the equation: $-(x-5)=x-2$
  1. $x=\dfrac { 7 }{ 2 } $
  2. $x=-5$
  3. $x=3$
  4. $x=\dfrac{1}{2}$

A Correct answer
Explanation

-(x-5) = x-2 becomes -x + 5 = x - 2. Adding x to both sides gives 5 = 2x - 2. Adding 2 gives 7 = 2x, so x = 7/2.

Multiple choice

Solve the equation $-2x+6=4x-2$

  1. no solutions
  2. $0$
  3. $3$
  4. $\dfrac {1}{2}$
  5. $\dfrac {4}{3}$

E Correct answer
Explanation

-2x + 6 = 4x - 2. Add 2x to both sides: 6 = 6x - 2. Add 2 to both sides: 8 = 6x. Divide by 6: x = 8/6 = 4/3.

Multiple choice

Solve the linear equation $25-3n=5n+19$.
  1. $\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 } $
  2. $\dfrac { 3 }{ 4 } $
  3. $\dfrac { 7 }{ 2 } $
  4. $\dfrac { 11 }{ 2 } $
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

25 - 3n = 5n + 19 -> 25 - 19 = 5n + 3n -> 6 = 8n -> n = 6/8 = 3/4.
