How much greater is the value of 3x + 5 than the value of 3x − 7? A. 8 B. 10 C. 12 D. 14 The correct answer is (C) 12. The easiest way to do this is to pick a number for x. Let's say x = 3. 3(3) + 5 = 9 + 5 = 14 3(3) − 7 = 9 − 7 = 2 The correct answer is 14 − 2 = 12. Which of the following is NOT a factor of 90? A. 5 B. 6 C. 12 D. 15 The correct answer is (C) 12.

Lisa has taken 3 times as many photos as Claire and Robert has taken 12 more photos than Claire. How many photos has Claire taken? A. 6 B. 8 C. 10 D. 12 The correct answer is (A) 6. Translate the information in the question from "English" to "Math." L = R L = 3C R = C + 12 We can substitute R for L in the second equation: R = 3C. If R is equal to both 3C and C + 12, we can say 3C = C + 12, and solve for C. 3C = C + 12 2C = 12 C = 6
