Algebra practice question

Which of the following equations has x = 4 as its solution?

  1. A. 3x − 2 = 10Correct
  2. B. 3x + 2 = 10
  3. C. x + 4 = 0
  4. D. 2x = 4

Answer: A. 3x − 2 = 10

3(4) − 2 = 10.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. 3x + 2 = 10
3(4) + 2 = 14, not 10.
C. x + 4 = 0
4 + 4 = 8, not 0.
D. 2x = 4
2(4) = 8, not 4.
