If (y=7+1.5x), what is (y) at (x=10)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 22
Substituting x=10 gives y=7+1.5(10)=7+15=22. Therefore, the correct answer is 22. The value 18 may result from incorrectly adding or multiplying 7 and 1.5; here, 1.5 must first be multiplied by 10. Exam tip: after substitution, perform multiplication before addition or subtraction.
