If 3x - 5 = 16, what is the value of x?
Why: Add 5 to both sides: 3x = 21. Divide by 3: x = 7. Check: 3(7) - 5 = 21 - 5 = 16.
Choose the option that makes the sentence correct: 'The list of required materials ____ posted on the classroom door.'
Why: The subject is 'list' (singular); 'of required materials' is a prepositional phrase that does not change the subject. A singular subject takes the singular verb 'is.'
