The sum of 6 and one-third of x is one more than twice x, find x
x = 7
x = 5
x = 3
x = 2
Correct answer is C
6 = \(\frac{1}{3}x\) = 1 + 2x
6 = 1 = \(\frac{2x}{1} - \frac{x}{3}\)
5 = \(\frac{6x - x}{3} = \frac{5x}{3}\)
5 = \(\frac{5x}{3}\)
3 x 5 = 5x
15 = 5x
x = \(\frac{15}{5}\)
= 3
5
6

10
Correct answer is A
P = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}; Q = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
P \(\cap\) Q) = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
n(P \(\cap\) Q) = 5
320g
420g
520g
620g
Correct answer is B
%Zinc + %Copper = 100%
65% + %Copper = 100%
%Copper = 100% - 65% = 35%
%Copper = \(\frac{\text{Mass of % Copper}}{\text{Mass of Casting}}\) x 100%
Mass of Casting = \(\frac{147}{35}\) x 100%
= 420g
The sum of 2 consecutive whole numbers is \(\frac{5}{6}\) of their product, find the numbers
3, 4
1, 2
2, 3
0, 1
Correct answer is C
Let the no. be x and x + 1
x + (x + 1) = \(\frac{5}{6}\) of x(x + 1)
2x + 1 = \(\frac{5}{6}\) x(x + 1)
6(2x + 1) = 5x2 + 5x
12x + 6 = 5x2 + 5x
5x2 + 5x - 12x - 6 = 0
5x2 - 7x - 6 = 0
5x2 - 10x + 3x - 6 = 0
5x(x - 2) + 3(x - 2) = 0
(5x + 3)(x - 2) = 0
(5x + 3)(x - 2) = 0
(5x + 3) = 0
x - 2 = 0
for (5x + 3) = 0
5x = -3
x = \(\frac{-3}{5}\) (Imposible since x is a whole number)
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
x = \(\frac{-3}{5}\)(Impossible since x is a whole number)
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
The numbers are x = 2
x + 1 = 2 + 1
= 3
Simplify 1\(\frac{1}{2} + 2\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
2\(\frac{1}{8}\)
2\(\frac{3}{4}\)
Correct answer is D
1\(\frac{1}{2} + 2\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{3}{2} + \frac{7}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{7}{4} - \frac{1}{2}\)
= \(\frac{6 + 7 - 2}{4} = \frac{11}{4}\)
= 2\(\frac{3}{4}\)
