Algebra practice question

Answer: 1

h(4) = 9 − 2(4) = 9 − 8 = 1.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 7

7 is 9 − 2, forgetting to multiply the 2 by 4.

If you answered 17

17 is 9 + 8, adding 2(4) instead of subtracting it.

If you answered 28

28 is (9 − 2) × 4, subtracting before multiplying. Multiply 2 by 4 first: 9 − 8.
