Following the order of operations, multiply 3 by 2 to get 6 and then add 4 to obtain 10. Only option 10 is correct.
What is the slope of the line y = 3x + 2?

The equation is written in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is the slope. Therefore, the slope is 3.
Determine the y-intercept of the line y = -2x + 7.

In the equation y = mx + b, the constant term b represents the y-intercept. Here, b is 7, which is the correct answer.
Solve for x: 2(x - 3) = 10.

Expanding the expression gives 2x - 6 = 10. Adding 6 to both sides and then dividing by 2 results in x = 8.
Solve for x: 3x + 5 - 2x = 12.

Combining like terms results in the equation x + 5 = 12. Subtracting 5 from both sides yields x = 7, which is the correct answer.
Simplify the expression: 4(2x + 3) - 5x.
3x + 12
8x - 12
x + 12
3x - 12
Distribute 4 to get 8x + 12 and then subtract 5x to simplify the expression to 3x + 12. The other options do not correctly combine like terms.
Which point lies on the line y = -2x + 5?
(2, 0)
(1, 3)
(0, -2)
(-1, 5)
By substituting x = 1 into the equation, we get y = -2(1) + 5 = 3. This confirms that the point (1, 3) lies on the line.
Solve for x: 5 - (x/2) = 3.

Subtracting 3 from 5 results in 2 = x/2. Multiplying both sides by 2 gives x = 4, which is the correct answer.
Solve the system of equations: x + y = 10 and x - y = 2.
x = 4, y = 6
x = 4, y = 2
x = 6, y = 4
x = 6, y = 2
Adding the two equations eliminates y, giving 2x = 12 and hence x = 6. Substituting x back into either equation shows that y = 4.
Solve for x: 3(x - 2) < 12.
x ≥ 6
x > 6
x ≤ 6
x < 6
Distribute to obtain 3x - 6 < 12, then add 6 to get 3x < 18. Dividing by 3 gives x < 6, which is the correct solution.
Rearrange the formula A = lw to solve for w.
w = l/A
w = A*l
w = l - A
w = A/l
Dividing both sides of the equation by l isolates w, resulting in w = A/l. This is the correct rearrangement of the formula.
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 3) and (6, 11).

Using the slope formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), we compute (11 - 3) / (6 - 2) = 8/4 = 2. Therefore, the slope is 2.
Write the equation of a line with slope 3 that passes through the point (2, -1).
y = 3x - 1
y = 3x + 7
y = 3x + 1
y = 3x - 7
Using the point-slope form y - y₝ = m(x - x₝) with m = 3 and (x₝, y₝) = (2, -1) gives y + 1 = 3(x - 2). Simplifying leads to y = 3x - 7, which is the correct equation.
Alex bought notebooks at $3 each and pens at $2 each, spending a total of $26. Which pair best represents the numbers of notebooks and pens purchased?
(5, 5)
(7, 3)
(6, 4)
(4, 6)
The total cost is modeled by the equation 3x + 2y = 26. Only the pair (6, 4) satisfies this equation since 3(6) + 2(4) = 18 + 8 = 26.
Solve the system of equations using elimination: 2x + 3y = 12 and 4x - 3y = 6.
x = 2, y = -3
x = 2, y = 3
x = 3, y = -2
x = 3, y = 2
Adding the two equations eliminates y, resulting in 6x = 18 and thus x = 3. Substituting x = 3 into one of the equations yields y = 2, which is the correct solution.
Solve for x: (2x - 5)/3 = (x + 1)/2.

Cross-multiply to obtain 2(2x - 5) = 3(x + 1), which simplifies to 4x - 10 = 3x + 3. Solving for x gives x = 13, the correct answer.
Solve the compound inequality: 2 < 3x - 1 ≤ 11.
x > 4
1 ≤ x ≤ 4
1 < x ≤ 4
1 ≤ x < 4
First, add 1 to all parts of the inequality to get 3 < 3x ≤ 12. Then, dividing every part by 3 results in 1 < x ≤ 4. This accurately expresses the solution set.
Determine the x-intercept of the line given by 4x + 5y = 20.

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 in the equation, which gives 4x = 20. Dividing by 4 results in x = 5, making it the correct x-intercept.
