6. Solve 3 -(4x -[4 - 3x] + 1) = -1

Answer: 1

This question was easy if you were careful of the brackets and negative signs.

3 - (4x -[4 - 3x] + 1) = - 1

3 - (4x - 4 + 3x + 1) = - 1

3 - (4x + 3x - 4 + 1) = - 1

3 - (7x - 3) = - 1

3 - 7x + 3 = - 1

3 + 3 - 7x = - 1

6 - 7x = - 1

- 7x = - 1 - 6

- 7x = - 7

x = - 7/- 7

x = 1.

7. How many of the following words are ONLY nouns: ghost, gibber, gite, gimmick?

Answer: 1

Ghost does not only mean apparition, it can also mean to write as a ghost writer. Gibber is a verb and it means to make unnecessary sounds in terror or shock, it can also be a noun. Gite (pronounced zheet) is a holiday cottage in France, it can also mean a gown.
