Solve: x + 7 = 19\n- x = 10\n- x = 12\n- x = 26\n- x = -12\nCorrect answer: x = 12\nExplanation: Subtract 7 from both sides: x = 12.\n\n2. Solve: 4x = 28\n- x = 7\n- x = 24\n- x = 32\n- x = 112\nCorrect answer: x = 7\nExplanation: Divide both sides by 4: x = 7.\n\n3. Solve: 3x - 5 = 16\n- x = 11\n- x = 7\n- x = 21\n- x = 5\nCorrect answer: x = 7\nExplanation: Add 5, then divide by 3: x = 7.\n\n4. Solve: 2(x + 4) = 18\n- x = 14\n- x = 5\n- x = 9\n- x = 1\nCorrect answer: x = 5\nExplanation: Distribute: 2x + 8 = 18, so x = 5.\n\n5. Solve: 5(x - 2) + 3 = 18\n- x = 1\n- x = 3\n- x = 5\n- x = 7\nCorrect answer: x = 5\nExplanation: 5x - 10 + 3 = 18, so 5x - 7 = 18 and x = 5.\n\n6. Solve: 3x + 8 = x + 18\n- x = 10\n- x = 5\n- x = -5\n- x = 13\nCorrect answer: x = 5\nExplanation: Subtract x and 8 to get 2x = 10, so x = 5.\n\n7. What is the solution to 4x + 2 = 4x - 6?\n- x = -2\n- x = 2\n- No solution\n- Infinitely many solutions\nCorrect answer: No solution\nExplanation: Subtract 4x from both sides: 2 = -6, which is never true.\n\n8. What is the solution to 2(x + 3) = 2x + 6?\n- x = 0\n- x = 3\n- No solution\n- Infinitely many solutions\nCorrect answer: Infinitely many solutions\nExplanation: Both sides simplify to the same expression, making the equation true for all x.\n\nStep-by-Step Answer Key\n\nStep-by-Step Answer Key\n\n1. Solve: x + 7 = 19\n\nSubtract 7 from both sides:\nx + 7 − 7 = 19 − 7\nx = 12\n\nAnswer: x = 12\n\n2. Solve: 4x = 28\n\nDivide both sides by 4:\n4x ÷ 4 = 28 ÷ 4\nx = 7\n\nAnswer: x = 7\n\n3. Solve: 3x − 5 = 16\n\nAdd 5 to both sides:\n3x = 21\nDivide by 3:\nx = 7\n\nAnswer: x = 7\n\n4. Solve: 2(x + 4) = 18\n\nDistribute:\n2x + 8 = 18\nSubtract 8:\n2x = 10\nDivide by 2:\nx = 5\n\nAnswer: x = 5\n\n5. Solve: 5(x − 2) + 3 = 18\n\nDistribute:\n5x − 10 + 3 = 18\nCombine like terms:\n5x − 7 = 18\nAdd 7:\n5x = 25\nDivide by 5:\nx = 5\n\nAnswer: x = 5\n\n6. Solve: 3x + 8 = x + 18\n\nSubtract x from both sides:\n2x + 8 = 18\nSubtract 8:\n2x = 10\nDivide by 2:\nx = 5\n\nAnswer: x = 5\n\n7. Solve: 4x + 2 = 4x − 6\n\nSubtract 4x from both sides:\n2 = −6\nThis statement is false.\n\nAnswer: No solution\n\n8. Solve: 2(x + 3) = 2x + 6\n\nDistribute:\n2x + 6 = 2x + 6\nSubtract 2x from both sides:\n6 = 6\nThis statement is always true.\n\nAnswer: Infinitely many solutions (all real numbers)\n", "bytes": 2380, "plan_note": "Personal account, Auto mode", "capture_note": "Interactive quiz widget; questions and choices transcribed by stepping through it (first choice picked to advance), answer key copied with Copilot's copy button."}
