1. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve x+7=12x+7=12

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 5.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Subtract 7 from both sides to isolate x: x = 12 - 7 = 5.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 5.

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

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve 3x=213x=21

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 7.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Divide both sides by 3 to get x = 21 / 3 = 7.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 7.

Divide both sides by 3 to get x = 21 / 3 = 7.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve 2x−5=92x-5=9

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 7.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Add 5 to both sides to get 2x = 14, then divide by 2 to get x = 7.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 7.

Add 5 to both sides to get 2x = 14, then divide by 2 to get x = 7.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve 4(x−2)=204(x-2)=20

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 7.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Divide by 4 to get x - 2 = 5, then add 2 to obtain x = 7.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 7.

Divide by 4 to get x - 2 = 5, then add 2 to obtain x = 7.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve 3x+4=2x+93x+4=2x+9

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 5.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Subtract 2x and 4 from both sides: x = 5.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 5.

Subtract 2x and 4 from both sides: x = 5.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve 5(2x−1)=3x+165(2x-1)=3x+16

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 3.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Distribute to get 10x - 5 = 3x + 16, so 7x = 21 and x = 3.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 3.

Distribute to get 10x - 5 = 3x + 16, so 7x = 21 and x = 3.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation has no solution?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 2x+3=2x−42x+3=2x-4.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Subtracting 2x from both sides gives 3 = -4, a contradiction, so no value of x works.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 2x+3=2x−42x+3=2x-4.

Subtracting 2x from both sides gives 3 = -4, a contradiction, so no value of x works.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation is an identity with infinitely many solutions?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 4(x+1)=4x+44(x+1)=4x+4.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Distributing the left side produces 4x + 4, which matches the right side for every value of x.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 4(x+1)=4x+44(x+1)=4x+4.

Distributing the left side produces 4x + 4, which matches the right side for every value of x.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve x3+2=5\frac{x}{3}+2=5

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 9.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Subtract 2 to get x/3 = 3, then multiply by 3 to obtain x = 9.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 9.

Subtract 2 to get x/3 = 3, then multiply by 3 to obtain x = 9.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangle has width 5 and perimeter 30. Which is its length?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 10.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Use 2l + 2w = 30. Substituting w = 5 gives 2l + 10 = 30, so l = 10.
