General Linear Equations Quiz

What is the primary goal when solving a general linear equation?

• To find the value of the constant

• To isolate the variable

• To eliminate all terms

• To balance the equation

In the equation -12x - 30 = 6, what is the first step to isolate x?

• Subtract 6 from both sides

• Add 30 to both sides

• Divide both sides by -12

• Multiply both sides by -12

After adding 30 to both sides in the equation -12x - 30 = 6, what is the next step?

• Divide both sides by -12

• Subtract 6 from both sides

• Add 6 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 12

In the equation 9 = -12C + 5, what operation is performed to move the constant term?

• Add 5 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 5

• Subtract 5 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by -12

What is the result of dividing both sides by -2 in the equation 4 = -2C?

• C = -2

• C = 2

• C = -4

• C = 4

In the equation 3x - 7 = 5x + 1, what is the first step to isolate x?

• Subtract 5x from both sides

• Add 7 to both sides

• Subtract 3x from both sides

• Add 5x to both sides

After simplifying the equation 3x - 7 = 5x + 1, what is the next step?

• Multiply both sides by -2

• Add 7 to both sides

• Subtract 5x from both sides

• Divide both sides by 2

In the equation 10 - 5x = 12 - 6X + 7, what is the first step to simplify?

• Add 6x to both sides

• Add 5x to both sides

• Distribute the negative sign

• Subtract 7 from both sides

What is the result of distributing the negative sign in the equation 10 - 5x = 12 - 6X + 7?

• 10 - 5x = 12 + 6x - 7

• 10 - 5x = 12 - 6x - 7

• 10 - 5x = 12 - 6x + 7

• 10 - 5x = 12 + 6x + 7

After simplifying the equation 10 - 5x = 12 - 6X + 7, what is the next step to isolate x?

• Subtract 10 from both sides

• Add 6x to both sides

• Add 5x to both sides

• Subtract 12 from both sides
