Solve for x: 2x + 3 = 7.
2
3
1
4
Subtracting 3 from both sides gives 2x = 4, and dividing by 2 results in x = 2. This basic linear equation reinforces fundamental solving techniques.
Simplify the expression: 3x + 4x.
7x
12x
x
1x
By combining like terms, 3x and 4x add up to 7x. This simple operation is essential for understanding algebraic expressions.
Solve for y: y/3 = 5.
15
5
3
8
Multiplying both sides by 3 gives y = 15. This direct approach demonstrates the inverse operation needed to isolate the variable.
Evaluate the expression: 2(4 + 3).
14
18
7
21
First, add the numbers inside the parentheses (4 + 3 = 7), and then multiply by 2 to get 14. This problem reinforces the order of operations.
Find the value of x if x - 5 = 10.
15
5
10
20
Adding 5 to both sides of the equation results in x = 15. This basic operation shows how to isolate the variable in a simple equation.
Solve for x: 3(x - 2) = 12.
6
4
8
10
Expanding the left side gives 3x - 6 = 12. Adding 6 and then dividing by 3 results in x = 6.
Simplify the expression: 5(2x + 3) - 4x.
6x + 15
10x + 15
5x + 3
x + 15
Distribute 5 to get 10x + 15, then subtract 4x to combine like terms, resulting in 6x + 15. This tests basic distribution and combination skills.
Solve for x: (4x)/2 = 8.
4
2
8
16
Dividing 4x by 2 simplifies to 2x, and setting 2x equal to 8 gives x = 4 after dividing both sides by 2.
Factor the expression: x² - 9.
(x - 3)(x + 3)
x(x - 9)
(x + 3)²
x²(1 - 9)
Recognize that x² - 9 is a difference of squares, which factors into (x - 3)(x + 3). This pattern recognition is key in algebraic factorization.
Solve the equation: x/2 + 3 = 7.
8
4
7
10
Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate x/2, resulting in x/2 = 4, and then multiply by 2 to find x = 8. This is a straightforward application of inverse operations.
Solve for x: 2x - 3 = 5.
4
3
5
8
Adding 3 to both sides gives 2x = 8, and dividing by 2 results in x = 4. This reinforces simple techniques for solving linear equations.
Solve for x: 3x + 4 = 19.
5
4
6
7
Subtracting 4 from both sides produces 3x = 15, and dividing by 3 leads to x = 5. This problem emphasizes fundamental equation solving.
Solve for x: x/3 + 2 = 5.
9
6
3
5
Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate x/3, which gives x/3 = 3, and then multiply by 3 to obtain x = 9. This tests understanding of basic fraction manipulation.
Solve for x: 2(x + 3) = 16.
5
6
7
8
Expanding the equation gives 2x + 6 = 16. After subtracting 6 and dividing by 2, we find x = 5, showing a common method for solving linear equations.
If 2x + 4 = 12, what is the value of x?
4
6
5
8
Subtract 4 from both sides to obtain 2x = 8 and then divide by 2 to get x = 4. This classic problem reinforces linear equation solving skills.
Solve for x: (x - 3)/4 = (2x + 1)/6.
-11
-7
7
11
Cross-multiplying results in 6(x - 3) = 4(2x + 1). Simplifying this equation leads to x = -11, demonstrating the process for solving equations with fractions.
Solve for y: 2(3y - 4) = y + 8.
16/5
8/5
5
4
First, distribute the 2 to obtain 6y - 8 = y + 8. Then, subtract y from both sides and add 8 to isolate y, resulting in y = 16/5.
Solve for x: 0.5x + 2 = 3x - 4.
12/5
2
3
4
Multiply the entire equation by 2 to eliminate the decimal, yielding x + 4 = 6x - 8. Solving this equation results in x = 12/5.
Simplify the expression: 2x - 3(x - 4) + 5.
-x + 17
5x - 7
2x + 3
x - 17
Distribute -3 across (x - 4) to get -3x + 12, then combine with 2x and add 5 to simplify the expression to -x + 17. This tests both distribution and combining like terms.
Solve for x: (3x + 5)/2 - (x - 1)/3 = 4.
1
2
3
4
Multiplying the entire equation by 6 clears the denominators, resulting in 3(3x + 5) - 2(x - 1) = 24. Simplifying and solving the equation leads to x = 1.
