D. x = 6

Step 1: Distribute the 4 on the left side:

Step 2: Simplify the left side:
$$ \begin{aligned} 4x - 5 &= 2x + 7 \end{aligned} $$

Step 3: Subtract $2x$ from both sides:
$$ \begin{aligned} 4x - 2x - 5 &= 7 \\ 2x - 5 &= 7 \end{aligned} $$

Step 4: Add 5 to both sides:
$$ \begin{aligned} 2x &= 7 + 5 \\ 2x &= 12 \end{aligned} $$

Step 5: Divide both sides by 2:
$$ \begin{aligned} x &= \frac{12}{2} \\ x &= 6 \end{aligned} $$

Verification:
Substitute $x = 6$ into the original equation:
Left side:
$$ \begin{aligned} 4(6 - 2) + 3 &= 4(4) + 3 \\ &= 16 + 3 \\ &= 19 \end{aligned} $$ Right side:
$$ \begin{aligned} 2(6) + 7 &= 12 + 7 \\ &= 19 \end{aligned} $$ Both sides are equal.

Final Answer:
$$ \boxed{6} $$

$$ \begin{aligned} 2(x - 3) + 5 &= 15 \\ \implies 2x - 6 + 5 &= 15 \end{aligned} $$

Step 2: Combine like terms on the left side.
$$ 2x - 1 = 15 $$

Step 3: Add 1 to both sides to isolate the term with $x$.
$$ \begin{aligned} 2x - 1 + 1 &= 15 + 1 \\ \implies 2x &= 16 \end{aligned} $$

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for $x$.
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{2x}{2} &= \frac{16}{2} \\ \implies x &= 8 \end{aligned} $$

Final Answer:
$$ \boxed{8} $$

A. 12 cups
B. 13 cups
C. 14 cups
D. 15 cups

Show Answer

D. 15 cups

Step 1: Set up the proportion.

The ratio of flour to sugar is (3 : 2).

Let (x) be the cups of flour needed for 10 cups of sugar.

$$ \frac{3}{2} = \frac{x}{10} $$

Step 2: Cross-multiply to solve for (x).

Multiply both sides by 2 and 10 to eliminate denominators:

$$ \begin{align*} 3 \times 10 &= 2 \times x \\ 30 &= 2x \end{align*} $$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2 to isolate (x). $$ \begin{align*} x &= \frac{30}{2} \\ &= 15 \end{align*} $$

Final Answer:

$$ \boxed{15} \text{ cups of flour} $$

A. 80 cm²
B. 100 cm²
C. 120 cm²
D. 160 cm²

Show Answer

B. 100 cm²

Step 1: Find the side length of the square.

Let $s$ be the side length.

The perimeter $P$ of a square is $P = 4s$.

Given $P = 40$ cm:

$$ 4s = 40 $$

Divide sides by 4:

$$ s = \frac{40}{4} = 10 \text{ cm} $$

Step 2: Calculate the area.

The area $A$ of a square is $A = s^2$.

Substitute $s = 10$:

$$ A = 10^2 = 100 $$

Final Answer:

$$ \boxed{100} \text{ cm}^2 $$

28. Solve for y: 3y + 7 = 5y - 3

A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5

Show Answer

D. 5

Step 1: Move all terms involving $y$ to one side and constants to the other.

Start with:

$$ 3y + 7 = 5y - 3 $$

Subtract $3y$ from both sides:

$$ \begin{align*} 3y + 7 - 3y &= 5y - 3 - 3y \\ 7 &= 2y - 3 \end{align*} $$

Step 2: Isolate the $y$-term.

Add 3 to both sides:

$$ \begin{align*} 7 + 3 &= 2y - 3 + 3 \\ 10 &= 2y \end{align*} $$

Step 3: Solve for $y$.

Divide both sides by 2:

$$ \begin{align*} \frac{10}{2} &= \frac{2y}{2} \\ 5 &= y \end{align*} $$

Final Answer:

$$ \boxed{5} $$

Show Answer

A. 1/4

Step 1: Determine the total number of balls in the box.
There are:

$4$ red balls
$3$ blue balls
$5$ green balls
So, the total number of balls is:
$$ 4 + 3 + 5 = 12 $$

Step 2: Identify the number of favorable outcomes.
We want to draw a blue ball, and there are $3$ blue balls.

Step 3: Calculate the probability.
The probability $P$ of drawing a blue ball is the number of blue balls divided by the total number of balls:
$$ P(\text{blue}) = \frac{3}{12} $$

Step 4: Simplify the fraction:
$$ \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4} $$

A. 31.4 cm²
B. 62.8 cm²
C. 78.5 cm²
D. 314 cm²

Show Answer

C. 78.5 cm²

Step 1: Recall the formula for the area of a circle:
$$A = \pi r^2$$
where $r$ is the radius.

Step 2: Find the radius.
The diameter is given as $10$ cm, so the radius is half of that:
$$ r = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ cm} $$

Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula.
Use $\pi = 3.14$ and $r = 5$:
$$ A = 3.14 \times (5)^2 $$

Step 4: Calculate the square of the radius:
$$ (5)^2 = 25 $$

Step 5: Multiply by $\pi$:
$$ A = 3.14 \times 25 = 78.5 $$

Final Answer:
$$ \boxed{78.5} \text{ cm}^2 $$

Show Answer

C. 20 days

Step 1: Understand that this is an inverse proportion problem.
More workers take fewer days, and fewer workers take more days.

Step 2: Find the total work required.
Let the total work be measured in “worker-days”.
$5$ workers $\times 12$ days $= 60$ worker-days.

Step 3: Let $d$ be the number of days for $3$ workers to complete the job.
Then:
$$ \begin{align*} 3 \text{ workers} \times d \text{ days} \\ = 60 \text{ worker-days} \end{align*} $$

Step 4: Solve for $d$:
$$ 3d = 60 \\ d = \frac{60}{3} = 20 $$

Final Answer:
$$ \boxed{20} \text{ days} $$

Step 2: Apply the definition to $5!$:
$$ 5! = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 $$

Step 3: Calculate step by step:
$$ \begin{align*} 5 \times 4 &= 20 \\ 20 \times 3 &= 60 \\ 60 \times 2 &= 120 \\ 120 \times 1 &= 120 \end{align*} $$

A. 2/5
B. 3/5
C. 1/2
D. 2/3

Show Answer
