Question 1

Which of the following pairs of numbers, when placed from left to right in the boxes above in the order given, make the equation true? 15 = (9 x []) / 5 + []

Your Answer: Option(s)

Correct Answer: Option(s) E

Rationale

5, 6

To satisfy the equation \(15 = (9 \times []) / 5 + []\), the correct values must be inserted into the equation to yield a true statement. When substituting 5 for the first box and 6 for the second box, the equation balances correctly.

A) 15, 1
Substituting 15 and 1 into the equation gives \(15 = (9 \times 15) / 5 + 1\). This simplifies to \(15 = 27 + 1\), which results in \(15 = 28\), an incorrect statement.

B) 10, 2
Using 10 and 2 results in \(15 = (9 \times 10) / 5 + 2\). This simplifies to \(15 = 18 + 2\), leading to \(15 = 20\), which is also incorrect.

C) 10, 3
With 10 and 3, the equation becomes \(15 = (9 \times 10) / 5 + 3\). Simplifying this yields \(15 = 18 + 3\), resulting in \(15 = 21\), another incorrect result.

D) 5, 4
Substituting 5 and 4 gives \(15 = (9 \times 5) / 5 + 4\). This simplifies to \(15 = 9 + 4\), which leads to \(15 = 13\), an incorrect conclusion.

Conclusion
The only pair of numbers that correctly satisfies the equation is 5 and 6. When substituted into the equation, they yield a true statement, demonstrating how to manipulate the equation correctly. The other options fail to balance the equation as they either result in incorrect sums or equations.
