Question

If x=7 then which answers would I circle? A. X + 7 = 17 b. 7 = 17 - x c. 70 = 10x d. X/35 = 5 e. 15x = 105

Answer 1

C. 70 = 10x

E. 15x = 105

Explanation:

x = 7

Using method of elimination;

A. X + 7 = 17

Substituting the value of x;

7 + 7 ≠ 17 (Incorrect option)

B. 7 = 17 - x

Substituting the value of x;

7 ≠ 17 - 7 (Incorrect option)

C. 70 = 10x

Substituting the value of x;

70 = 10 * 7 (Correct option)

D. X/35 = 5

Substituting the value of x;

7 / 35 ≠ 5 (Incorrect option)

E. 15x = 105

Substituting the value of x;

15 * 7 = 105 (Correct option)
