The height of a triangle is 5 more than double the base length. If the height of the triangle is 74 mm, what is the base length of the triangle?

Answers:
If b represents the length of the base in mm, the equation that represents this problem is .:74 = 2b + 5
The base of the triangle is mm.:34.5

Determine the flaws in the solution.

A
The multiplication property of equality in Step 2 should result in |x| = 7.
B
The definition of absolute value is applied incorrectly. There is no solution.
C
The reason in Step 4 should be the addition property of equality.
D
The multiplication property of equality in Step 4 should result in only x = 7.
E
In evaluating the solutions, the absolute value should be simplified first to get a positive value.

Jen solved the equation 100 minus one-half x equals 92 to determine the number of questions, x, she answered incorrectly on a test. She began by subtracting 100 from both sides, then multiplying both sides by –2. Which best describes the accuracy of Jen’s work?

Question illustration
A
Incorrect. She needed to add 100 to both sides instead of subtracting 100.
Option A
B
Incorrect. She needed to multiply both sides by –2 first, then subtract 100.
Option B
C
Correct. She could have also subtracted 100 from both sides, then divided by .
Option C
D
Correct. She could have also multiplied both sides by –2 first, then subtracted 100.
Option D
