Question: 331

3. For all real numbers d and y, d ? y = (d × y) - (d + y).

[Example: 3 ? 2 = (3 × 2) - (3 + 2) = 6 - 5 = 1]

10 ? 2 =

  • A. 20
  • B. 16
  • C. 12
  • D. 8

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D In this function, simply plug in the number to the left of the weird symbol for d and the number to the right of the weird symbol for y exactly as the example directs. The function should read d ? y = 10 ? 2 = (10 × 2) - (10 + 2), which simplifies to (20) - (12) = 8. The correct answer is (D).
