Find the value of y: 2y + 8 = 20

• y = 4

• y = 10

• y = 15

• y = 6

Answer explanation

To find the value of y, solve the equation by subtracting 8 from both sides: 2y = 12. Then, divide both sides by 2 to get y = 6. Therefore, the correct answer is y = 6.

What is the solution to the equation 4a - 7 = 25?

• a = 5

• a = 8

• a = 12

• a = 10

Answer explanation

The correct solution to the equation 4a - 7 = 25 is a = 8. By adding 7 to both sides of the equation, we get 4a = 32. Dividing both sides by 4 gives us a = 8, which is the correct choice.

If 2x + 3 = 11, what is the value of x?

• x = 5

• x = 4

• x = 2

• x = 7

Answer explanation

To find the value of x, subtract 3 from both sides of the equation. 2x = 8. Divide both sides by 2. x = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 4.

Solve for m: 5m - 9 = 36

• m = 45

• m = 6

• m = 12

• m = 9

Answer explanation

To solve the equation 5m - 9 = 36, we need to isolate the variable m. Adding 9 to both sides gives 5m = 45. Dividing both sides by 5, we find m = 9. Therefore, the correct answer is m = 9.

Use algebraic expressions to represent the following problem: If a number is increased by 7 and then multiplied by 5, the result is 60. What is the number?

• 5

• 12

• 10

• 25

Answer explanation

To find the number, let's use algebraic expressions. Let x be the number. The expression is (x + 7) * 5 = 60. Solving for x, we get x = 5. Therefore, the correct choice is 5.

Translate the following problem into an algebraic expression: Five times a number decreased by 8 is equal to 27. What is the number?

• 10

• 20

• 7

• 15

Answer explanation

To translate the problem into an algebraic expression, let's represent the number as 'x'. The expression would be: 5x - 8 = 27. Solving for 'x', we find x = 7. Therefore, the correct choice is 7.

Express the following problem as an algebraic expression: The sum of a number and 12 is multiplied by 3 and the result is 45. What is the number?

• 3

• 15

• 6

• 9

Answer explanation

To find the number, we need to solve the equation (x + 12) * 3 = 45. Simplifying, we get x + 12 = 15. Subtracting 12 from both sides, we find x = 3. Therefore, the number is 3.

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 2x + 2y, where x and y are the lengths of the sides, and the perimeter is 30, what is the value of x + y?

• 10

• 15

• 20

• 25

Answer explanation

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by 2x + 2y. Since the perimeter is 30, we can set up the equation 2x + 2y = 30. Solving for x + y, we get x + y = 15. Therefore, the value of x + y is 15, which matches the correct answer choice.

A car travels at a speed of 60 miles per hour. Write an algebraic expression to represent the distance traveled by the car in t hours.

• 60t

• t+60

• t60

• 360/t

Answer explanation

The distance traveled by the car in t hours can be represented by the algebraic expression 60t, which multiplies the speed of 60 miles per hour by the time in hours.
