BECE Mathematics 2025 Objective — Question 96

Question 96 of 120 from the Basic Education Certificate Examination (Junior WAEC) (BECE) Mathematics 2025 Objective paper, with the correct answer and a full explanation.

Given the equation of a straight line 2x + 2y = 5, find the missing values of x and y respectively in Table 2.2.

• A. 0 and 0.5Correct
• B. 0.5 and 0
• C. 1 and 0
• D. 1.5 and 2

Explanation

If y = 2.5 then 2x = 5 − 5 = 0, so x = 0. If x = 2 then 2y = 5 − 4 = 1, so y = 0.5. (Check: x=1, y=1.5 gives 2+3 = 5 ✓.)
