Question: 330

2. For all real numbers n, $n = 10n - 10.

If $n = 120, then n =

  • A. 11
  • B. 12
  • C. 13
  • D. 120

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C The question asks which of the choices will yield a result of 120. Therefore, use PITA to solve, starting with (C). If n = 13, then replace 13 for n in the given equation: $13 = 10(13) - 10. Simplify to find that $13 = 130 - 10 = 120. This works, so the correct answer is (C).
