Question

Use the following diagram:
Posting the pic
The value of x would be?
Select one:
a. 2
b. 4
c. 8
d. 21

Answer 1

I'm afraid that can't be solved - have you posted the diagram properly?

You need some indication of the height of the line in the shape.

Answer 2

that is it

Answer 3

OK - sorry I see - there are are options - I thought you need to solve for x

It is obvious the the line is longer than 15, and less then 27

which value from your options evaluates 4x+5 to between those values?

Answer 4

i dont know

Answer 5

if x was 21 (answer d ) then

4x+5 = 4*21 + 5 = 89

this is too long so it cannot be d

do the same with the other 3 answers and see which gives an answer between 15 & 27

Answer 6

wouldnt it be 13? @MrNood

Answer 7

i did what you told me to do and i got 13 so id be 2?

Answer 8

sorry - correction:

OK - for answer a you got
4*2 + 5 = 13

that is correct - but if you look at the drawing the line MUST be longer than 15 so 2 cannot be the answer

you need to try the other possible answers until you get a value between 15 and 27

Answer 9

No thats not what happened i got 4*2+5 = 13, 4*4+5=21, then my other answer is 4*8+5=37

Answer 10

so - which of those is between 15 and 27?

Answer 11

4*4+5=21

Answer 12

so x is?
and the answer is....

Answer 13
