Grade 6 Math Sample Question 9

When the expression 3(n + 7) is evaluated for a given value of n, the
result is 33.

What is the value of n?

A) n = 4 (Correct Answer)

B) n = 5

C) n = 21

D) n = 120

Explanation:
Since 3(n + 7) is equal to 33, then (n + 7) must equal 11. (3 x 11 = 33) Therefore, n must equal 4,
since 4 + 7 = 11.
