Linear equation Numerical Reasoning Question
Solve for x: 3x + 14 = 29
A29
B3.80
C15
D5
E9.70
Worked solution
Undo the constant first (add or subtract it), then divide by the coefficient. The correct answer is 5. Traps to avoid: 29 comes from the "forgot divide" error; 3.80 comes from the "arith error" error; 15 comes from the "subtracted only" error; 9.70 comes from the "ignored b" error.
