If 5(x − 3) = 2x + 6, what is the value of x?
Show the answer
Answer: C. 7. Distribute: 5x − 15 = 2x + 6. Subtract 2x from both sides: 3x − 15 = 6. Add 15: 3x = 21. Divide by 3: x = 7. Tip: undo operations in reverse PEMDAS order. Trap answers often come from sign slips when distributing negatives.
Solve: 5x + 3 = 2x + 18
Show the answer
Answer: C. 5. Subtract 2x from both sides: 3x + 3 = 18. Subtract 3: 3x = 15. Divide by 3: x = 5. Tip: undo operations in reverse PEMDAS order. Trap answers often come from sign slips when distributing negatives.
Solve: 5x - 2x = 15. What is x?
Show the answer
Answer: B. x = 5. Combine like terms on the left: 3x = 15. Divide both sides by 3: x = 5. Check: 5(5) - 2(5) = 25 - 10 = 15 ✓ Tip: undo operations in reverse PEMDAS order. Trap answers often come from sign slips when distributing negatives.
Solve for x: 4x − 7 = 21
Show the answer
Answer: C. 7. Add 7 to both sides: 4x = 28. Divide by 4: x = 7. Tip: undo operations in reverse PEMDAS order. Trap answers often come from sign slips when distributing negatives.
If x/3 + 5 = 9, what is the value of x?
Show the answer
Answer: C. 12. Subtract 5 from both sides: x/3 = 4. Multiply by 3: x = 12. Tip: undo operations in reverse PEMDAS order. Trap answers often come from sign slips when distributing negatives.
