Solve for x: 3x + 7 = 22
Answer: x = 5
Subtract 7 from both sides to get 3x = 15, then divide by 3 to get x = 5.
Simplify: 4x + 3y - 2x + y
Answer: 2x + 4y
Combine like terms: (4x - 2x) + (3y + y) = 2x + 4y.
What is the slope of the line passing through (2, 3) and (6, 11)?
Answer: 2
Slope = (11 - 3)/(6 - 2) = 8/4 = 2.
Which equation represents a line with slope -3 and y-intercept 5?
Answer: y = -3x + 5
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Factor completely: x² - 9
Answer: (x + 3)(x - 3)
x² - 9 is a difference of squares: a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b), so x² - 9 = (x + 3)(x - 3).
Solve the inequality: 2x - 4 > 10
Answer: x > 7
Add 4 to both sides: 2x > 14, then divide by 2: x > 7.
