1. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve x+5=12x + 5 = 12.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 77.

  1. Identify the operation: Determine which operation is applied to the variable and what inverse operation will undo it.
  2. Use the inverse operation: Subtract 5 from both sides: x=12−5=7x = 12 - 5 = 7.
  3. Check the solution: Substitute the value into the original equation and confirm that both sides are equal.

Subtract 5 from both sides: x=12−5=7x = 12 - 5 = 7.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve y−8=3y - 8 = 3.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 1111.

  1. Identify the operation: Determine which operation is applied to the variable and what inverse operation will undo it.
  2. Use the inverse operation: Add 8 to both sides: y=3+8=11y = 3 + 8 = 11.
  3. Check the solution: Substitute the value into the original equation and confirm that both sides are equal.

Add 8 to both sides: y=3+8=11y = 3 + 8 = 11.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve a+(−4)=9a + (-4) = 9.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 1313.

  1. Identify the operation: Determine which operation is applied to the variable and what inverse operation will undo it.
  2. Use the inverse operation: Add 4 to both sides: a=9+4=13a = 9 + 4 = 13.
  3. Check the solution: Substitute the value into the original equation and confirm that both sides are equal.

Add 4 to both sides: a=9+4=13a = 9 + 4 = 13.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve n−(−6)=2n - (-6) = 2.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is −4-4.

  1. Identify the operation: Determine which operation is applied to the variable and what inverse operation will undo it.
  2. Use the inverse operation: Subtracting a negative is addition, so n+6=2n + 6 = 2. Subtract 6 to get n=−4n = -4.
  3. Check the solution: Substitute the value into the original equation and confirm that both sides are equal.

Subtracting a negative is addition, so n+6=2n + 6 = 2. Subtract 6 to get n=−4n = -4.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve p+9=0p + 9 = 0.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is −9-9.

  1. Identify the operation: Determine which operation is applied to the variable and what inverse operation will undo it.
  2. Use the inverse operation: Subtract 9 from both sides: p=0−9=−9p = 0 - 9 = -9.
  3. Check the solution: Substitute the value into the original equation and confirm that both sides are equal.

Subtract 9 from both sides: p=0−9=−9p = 0 - 9 = -9.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve b−7=−2b - 7 = -2.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 55.

  1. Identify the operation: Determine which operation is applied to the variable and what inverse operation will undo it.
  2. Use the inverse operation: Add 7 to both sides: b=−2+7=5b = -2 + 7 = 5.
  3. Check the solution: Substitute the value into the original equation and confirm that both sides are equal.

Add 7 to both sides: b=−2+7=5b = -2 + 7 = 5.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve t+(−10)=−3t + (-10) = -3.
