Accepted Answer

Question 2

Solve for $$a in $$the equation $$\frac{a}{6} = 7.$$

Accepted Answer

$$a = 42$$

Question 3

Which of the following is the correct first step to isolate $$a in $$the equation $$4a + 4 = 40$$?

Accepted Answer

Subtract 4 from both sides

Question 4

If $$a$$ represents the number of moles of a substance and $$\frac{a}{6} = 7$$, how many moles are present?

Accepted Answer

$$a = 42$$ moles

Question 5

Solve for $$b in $$the equation $$2b + 7 = b + 10.$$

Accepted Answer

$$b = 3$$

Question 6

What is the value of $$b in $$the equation $$3b - 4 = 24 - b$$?

Accepted Answer

$$b = 7$$

Question 7

Which of the following best describes the process to solve $$2b + 7 = b + 10$$ for $$b$$?

Accepted Answer

Subtract $$b$$ from both sides, then subtract 7 from both sides

Question 8
