What is the simplified form of 2x + 3x?
2x
6x
5x
3x
Combining like terms involves adding the coefficients of x. Since 2 and 3 add together to 5, the simplified expression is 5x.
Solve for x: x + 7 = 10.
10
17
7
3
Subtracting 7 from both sides of the equation yields x = 3. This demonstrates a basic application of inverse operations.
If x = 2, what is the value of 3x - 4?
2
8
6
4
Substituting x = 2 into the expression gives 3(2) - 4. Simplifying this results in 6 - 4, which equals 2.
Which expression is equivalent to 2(x + 3)?
x + 5
2x + 6
2x + 3
x + 6
Distributing 2 across the terms inside the parentheses, x and 3, yields 2x + 6. This shows proper use of the distributive property.
Solve for x: 2x = 8.
4
8
2
6
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2 isolates x. This results in x = 4, demonstrating a straightforward division step.
Solve for x: 3(x - 2) = 5.
x = 11/3
x = 3
x = 7/3
x = 5
First, distribute 3 to get 3x - 6 = 5, then add 6 to both sides to obtain 3x = 11. Dividing both sides by 3 results in x = 11/3.
Solve for x: -2x + 5 = 1.
x = -4
x = 2
x = -2
x = 4
Subtract 5 from both sides to obtain -2x = -4. Dividing by -2 isolates x and gives x = 2.
Combine like terms: simplify 3x + 2 - 5x + 10.
-8x + 12
8x + 12
2x + 12
-2x + 12
Combine the x terms: 3x - 5x gives -2x, and combine the constant terms: 2 + 10 gives 12. Thus, the simplified expression is -2x + 12.
Solve: 4(x - 3) = 2x + 6.
x = 8
x = 9
x = 10
x = 6
Expanding the left side gives 4x - 12, then set up the equation 4x - 12 = 2x + 6. Solving by combining like terms leads to 2x = 18, so x = 9.
Solve the inequality: 2x - 5 > 3.
x > 8
x > 3
x > 4
x > 5
Add 5 to both sides to obtain 2x > 8, then divide by 2 to find that x > 4. This method correctly isolates the variable in the inequality.
Factor the quadratic expression: x² + 5x + 6.
(x + 3)(x + 4)
(x + 2)(x + 3)
(x - 2)(x - 3)
(x + 1)(x + 6)
To factor the quadratic, find two numbers that multiply to 6 and add to 5. The numbers 2 and 3 satisfy these conditions, giving the factors (x + 2) and (x + 3).
Solve for x: (x/2) + (x/3) = 5.
x = 6
x = 5
x = 10
x = 12
Find a common denominator for the fractions to rewrite the equation as (3x + 2x)/6 = 5, which simplifies to 5x/6 = 5. Multiplying both sides by 6/5 gives x = 6.
Solve the system of equations: x + y = 10 and x - y = 2.
x = 6, y = 4
x = 5, y = 5
x = 4, y = 6
x = 2, y = 8
Adding the two equations eliminates y, resulting in 2x = 12 and thus x = 6. Substituting x = 6 into one of the equations shows that y = 4.
What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 2y = 4x + 6?
3
6
2
4
Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to rewrite it in slope-intercept form: y = 2x + 3. The coefficient of x in this form represents the slope, which is 2.
Evaluate the function f(x) = 2x² - 3x + 1 at x = 3.
8
10
14
12
Substitute x = 3 into the function to obtain 2(3)² - 3(3) + 1, which simplifies to 18 - 9 + 1. The final result is 10 after performing the arithmetic.
Simplify the expression: 4x - 2(3x - 5).
2x + 10
-2x + 10
-2x - 10
2x - 10
First, distribute -2 over the terms in the parentheses to get -6x + 10, then combine with 4x to yield -2x + 10. This demonstrates correct application of the distributive property and combining like terms.
If 5(x - 1) = 3x + 7, what is the value of x?
x = 12
x = 7
x = 6
x = 5
Distribute 5 to obtain 5x - 5 = 3x + 7. Isolate x by subtracting 3x from both sides and adding 5 to both sides, leading to 2x = 12 and therefore x = 6.
Solve for x in the equation: 2(x + 3) = x + 9.
x = 0
x = 6
x = 3
x = 9
Expanding the left side gives 2x + 6, and setting the equation as 2x + 6 = x + 9 leads to x = 3 after subtracting x and 6 from both sides. This is a clear example of solving a simple linear equation.
What is the result of expanding the binomial (x + 4)²?
x² + 8x + 16
x² + 4
x² + 4x + 16
x² + 16
Using the formula (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² with a = x and b = 4, the expansion results in x² + 8x + 16. This is the standard result for a squared binomial.
Simplify the expression: (3x² * 2x) / (6x).
2x²
6x³
x
Multiply 3x² by 2x to get 6x³, then divide by 6x. Canceling the common factor of 6x results in x², which is the simplified form.
