What is the greatest common factor of 28 and 20?

77% Answer Correctly
2
15
11
4

Solution

The factors of 28 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28] and the factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 28 and 20 have in common.


2

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
44
46
49
42

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46


3

If \( \left|c - 4\right| \) + 7 = 1, which of these is a possible value for c?

62% Answer Correctly
-13
-11
-2
8

Solution

First, solve for \( \left|c - 4\right| \):

\( \left|c - 4\right| \) + 7 = 1
\( \left|c - 4\right| \) = 1 - 7
\( \left|c - 4\right| \) = -6

The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (c - 4) must equal - 6 or --6 for \( \left|c - 4\right| \) to equal -6:

c - 4 = -6
c = -6 + 4
c = -2
c - 4 = 6
c = 6 + 4
c = 10

So, c = 10 or c = -2.


4
