B. 10
C. 12

ANSWERS:
1. x = 5
(Explanation: 2x-3 =7
2x = 7+3 = 10
x = 10/2 =5)

2. 32, 42
(Explanation: Let one number be x, then the other number is x + 10.
Given x + 10 + x = 74
2x +10 = 74
2x = 74-10 = 64
x = 64/2 = 32, x+10 = 42)

3. 80
(Explanation: Let the number be x.
Given ½ of ½ of x = 20
i.e. ¼ of x = 20
x = 80)

4. 1

5. 2x + 3y =5

6. 6
(Explanation: 3y+2 = 2y +8
Transposing, 3y -2y = 8-2
y = 6)

7. Solution

8. x-5 =9

9. Equality

10. 8
(Explanation: Let the number be x, then given 3x + 6 = 30
3x = 30-6
3x = 24
x = 24/3 = 8)
