  1. If 5x + 3 = 28, what is the value of 2x?

    Answer: 10

    5x = 25 → x = 5; so 2x = 10.

  2. Solve for y: 8 − 2y = 3y − 7

    Answer: y = 3

    Add 2y: 8 = 5y − 7; add 7: 15 = 5y; y = 3.

  3. A phone plan charges $0.10 per text. Lena received a bill of $12.50 for texts only. How many texts did she send?

    Answer: 125

    0.10t = 12.50 → t = 125.

  4. Solve for x: 2x/5 = 8

    Answer: x = 20

    Multiply both sides by 5: 2x = 40; divide by 2: x = 20.

  5. If 6(x − 3) = 2(x + 5), what is the value of x?

    Answer: x = 7

    Expand: 6x − 18 = 2x + 10; subtract 2x: 4x − 18 = 10; add 18: 4x = 28; x = 7.

  6. A recipe uses 3 cups of flour for every 2 cups of sugar. If a baker uses 12 cups of flour, how many cups of sugar does she need?

    Answer: 8 cups

    Set up 3/2 = 12/s → 3s = 24 → s = 8.

  7. Solve for x: −4(x + 1) + 2x = 10

    Answer: x = −7

    Expand: −4x − 4 + 2x = 10 → −2x = 14 → x = −7.
