Question

The set of numbers 1, 3, 7, 11, 15, and 36 contains all possible values for q. What value of q makes the following equation true: 4q+9=37 ?

Answer 1

q = 7

Explanation:

4q + 9 = 37

If a letter and a number are together it means multiply.

Substitute 7 into the equation:

4(7) + 9 = 37

28 + 9 = 37

So q must equal 7
