Abigail, Benjamin, and Oliver were playing a game. Abigail scored 8 points, but then she lost some points and ended up with 3. If x represents the points she lost, what is the value of x?

• 7

• 2

• 10

• 5

Answer explanation

To find the value of x, subtract 3 from both sides of the equation. This gives 8 - 3 = x. Therefore, x = 5. The correct choice is 5.

Find the solution to the equation: 12 = 4 + 2m

• m = 6

• m = 2

• m = 4

• m = 8

Answer explanation

To find the solution, isolate the variable by subtracting 4 from both sides. This gives 2m = 8. Divide both sides by 2 to get m = 4. Therefore, the correct choice is m = 4.
