If 3x + 7 = 22, what is the value of x?
Answer: 5
Subtract 7 from both sides to get 3x = 15, then divide by 3 to find x = 5.
Which expression is equivalent to 2(x + 3) − 4x?
Answer: −2x + 6
Distribute to get 2x + 6 − 4x, then combine like terms to get −2x + 6.
What are the solutions to x² − 5x + 6 = 0?
Answer: x = 2 and x = 3
Factor as (x − 2)(x − 3) = 0, giving x = 2 or x = 3.
If 4x − 2y = 10 and x = 3, what is the value of y?
Answer: 1
Substitute x = 3 to get 12 − 2y = 10, then solve to find y = 1.
What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 3) and (6, 11)?
Answer: 2
Slope = (y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁) = (11 − 3)/(6 − 2) = 8/4 = 2.
Which values of x satisfy |2x − 4| = 6?
Answer: x = −1 or x = 5
Set 2x − 4 = 6 (giving x = 5) and 2x − 4 = −6 (giving x = −1).
If f(x) = 3x² − 2x + 1, what is the value of f(2)?
Answer: 9
f(2) = 3(4) − 2(2) + 1 = 12 − 4 + 1 = 9.
