Ain't no way this is on the sat test

[Mathochistic]

This is actually the kind of question that would be #1 on the test. They start out super easy....to lull you into a false sense of security.

Isn't it easier and less time consuming to get the difference and then multiplying it by 4

20-15= 5

5x4= 20(which is the correct answer)

[Larsbutbd]

js do 20s-15s

Simplify to 5s = 5 x 4 = 20

[TylerSy]

Ain’t no way the SAT has questions like this 💀

[boopathycphysics]

Is it really SAT exam question? If yes, give details which year asked this question

[bplayzz-tv]

I would reach to the calculator to be sure 😅😅

[rishabhsaini]

Could have subtracted those to become 5s then substitute 5×4=20

[chiderasanctus]

You could also factorise
That'll be: s(20-15)=5s; s=4, 5s= 5×4=20

[shappp]

clearly the correct answer is to factor out 5s to get 5s(4-3), then substitute 4 for s to get 5s(s-3), then distribute to get 5s²-15s, then find s²=4²=16, then solve: 5(16)-15(4) = 80 - 60 = 20

[RollsReus-tmhu]

Faster to simplify 20s-15s into 5s, then do 5 X 4 = 20. Fewer steps, smaller numbers, less room for error

[stickman_lore_official]

20s-15s=?
20-15=5
5*4=20
20s-15s=20
s=4

[rhysswimmingandgymnastics]

This is literally Elementary Math why is this on the SAT

[SonixOffical]

If s=4 the value of 20s — 15s can be found by substituting s with its given value

20s — 15s = 20x4 — 15x4

Now we preform multiplication

20x4=80

15x4=60

Finally we preform subtraction

80–60=20

Therefore if s=4 the value of 20s— 15s is 20

[nripdave]

Le 3rd grade student- it's my level question

[Bjowolf]

No 😂

20s - 15s = 5s

5s = 5x4 = 20

[riteshsahu]

Fun fact is the the most difficult maths question of sat is easier than the most easiest question of jee mains

[saadinhalf]

I genuinely thought you were gonna demo a cool hack for easier questions to make them even faster but you actually took the LEAST efficient route

[Prajwal]

I would combine like terms then plug in the number

[johnnyboii]

You can just do 20s - 15s = 5s
And s = 4
So, 5(4)
And the answer is
20, which is still the same answer, but found in a much easier way
