Easy
Solve for x: 2x + 3 = 7.
x = 2
x = 3
x = 1
x = 4
Subtracting 3 from both sides gives 2x = 4. Dividing by 2 yields x = 2.
Simplify: 3x + 4x.
7x
12x
1x
8x
Combine like terms by adding the coefficients 3 and 4 to get 7x. This is the simplest way to combine similar terms.
Identify the coefficient in the term 6y from the expression 6y + 3.
6
y
3
9
The coefficient is the number multiplying the variable, which in this case is 6. The constant 3 is separate from the term containing y.
Evaluate: 2x - 5 when x = 3.
1
-1
3
5
Substitute x = 3 into the expression to get 2(3) - 5 = 6 - 5, which equals 1. This simple substitution confirms the answer.
Solve for x: x/5 = 3.
15
3/5
5/3
8
Multiply both sides by 5 to isolate x, resulting in x = 15. This is a basic method for solving equations involving fractions.
Medium
Solve for x: 3x - 2 = 2x + 4.
x = 6
x = 2
x = -6
x = 4
Subtract 2x from both sides to get x - 2 = 4, and then add 2 to both sides to find x = 6. This demonstrates a standard technique for solving linear equations.
Simplify: 4(2x - 5) - 3(x - 2).
5x - 14
8x - 14
5x + 14
8x - 20
Distribute to obtain 8x - 20 and -3x + 6, then combine like terms to achieve 5x - 14. Proper distribution and combining are key steps.
Solve by factoring: x² - 5x + 6 = 0.
x = 2 or x = 3
x = -2 and x = -3
x = 2
x = 3
Factoring the quadratic results in (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0, so the solutions are x = 2 or x = 3. Both values satisfy the original equation.
Factor the expression: x² - 9.
(x - 3)(x + 3)
(x + 3)²
(x - 9)(x + 1)
(x - 3)²
x² - 9 is a difference of squares and factors neatly into (x - 3)(x + 3). Recognizing the pattern is essential for quick factoring.
Solve for x: 3(x - 2) + 2 = 5x - 6.
x = 1
x = 2
x = -1
x = 0
First expand the left-hand side to get 3x - 6 + 2 = 3x - 4, then set the equation 3x - 4 = 5x - 6. Solving yields x = 1.
Evaluate f(x) = x² - 3x + 4 for x = 2.
2
4
6
0
Substitute x = 2 into the function to get 4 - 6 + 4, which simplifies to 2. Accurate substitution and arithmetic lead to the correct value.
Solve for x: 4(x + 1) = 2(2x + 3).
No solution
x = 1
x = 3
Infinite solutions
Expanding both sides gives 4x + 4 = 4x + 6, which simplifies to an impossible statement 4 = 6. This contradiction indicates there is no solution.
Solve the equation: 2(x - 3) = x + 5.
x = 11
x = 13
x = -11
x = 3
Distribute the 2 to get 2x - 6 and set the equation 2x - 6 = x + 5. Solving for x results in x = 11.
Which expression is the product of (x + 2) and (x - 3)?
x² - x - 6
x² + x - 6
x² - 5
x² + 6
Expanding (x + 2)(x - 3) using the distributive property gives x² - x - 6. Combining like terms confirms the correct product.
Find the value of x in the proportion: x/4 = 3/8.
3/2
2/3
6/8
1
Cross-multiply to obtain 8x = 12, then divide by 8 to get x = 12/8, which simplifies to 3/2. This is a common approach to solving proportions.
Hard
Solve for x: √(2x + 3) = 5.
x = 11
x = 6.5
x = 25
x = 5
Square both sides to eliminate the square root, resulting in 2x + 3 = 25. Solving the resulting equation gives x = 11, after verifying that no extraneous solution was introduced.
Determine the value of k such that (x² + kx - 4)/(x - 2) simplifies to x + 2 for all x ≠ 2.
k = 0
k = 2
k = -2
k = 4
Multiplying the simplified form (x + 2) by (x - 2) gives x² - 4. Equate this to x² + kx - 4 to obtain kx = 0, which can only hold for all x if k = 0.
Solve the system of equations: 2x + 3y = 12 and x - y = 1.
x = 3, y = 2
x = 2, y = 3
x = 4, y = 2
x = 3, y = 3
Solve the second equation for x to get x = y + 1, then substitute into the first equation. This yields y = 2 and consequently x = 3 after solving, which is the unique solution.
If f(x) = 2x² - 3x + 1 and g(x) = x - 4, what is f(g(x))?
2x² - 19x + 45
2x² - 19x + 44
2x² - 3x + 1
2x² + 19x - 45
Substitute g(x) = x - 4 into f(x) to get 2(x - 4)² - 3(x - 4) + 1. Expanding and combining like terms results in 2x² - 19x + 45, which is the correct composed function.
For what positive value of a does the quadratic f(x) = x² + ax + 16 have a repeated real root?
a = 8
a = -8
a = 4
a = 16
A quadratic has a repeated real root when its discriminant is zero. Here, a² - 64 = 0 leads to a² = 64, and since a is positive, a = 8.

Classroom Quiz - Practice Test Cheat Sheet

  1. Standard Form of a Quadratic - The form ax² + bx + c = 0 is your launchpad for every quadratic adventure. It helps you quickly identify coefficients so you can decide whether to factor, complete the square, or plug into the formula. Visualizing this form also reveals that iconic U‑shaped parabola and where it will cross the x‑axis. Key Concepts of Quadratic Equations
  2. Quadratic Formula - x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / (2a) is your secret weapon when factoring just won't cut it. This formula works for any quadratic, no matter how tangled the coefficients. Memorize it, practice the steps, and watch as even the trickiest problems bow to your math mastery. Key Concepts of Quadratic Equations
  3. The Discriminant - The expression b² − 4ac tells you how many real roots to expect: two (positive), one (zero), or none (negative). It's like a road sign warning you whether you'll hit two stations, merge into one, or detour into the complex plane. Checking the discriminant first can save you from wasted effort. Key Concepts of Quadratic Equations
  4. Exponent Rules - Properties like aᵝ · a❿ = aᵝ❺❿ or (aᵝ)❿ = aᵝ❿ collapse hairy expressions into neat powers. Mastering these rules speeds up simplification and is a game‑changer for algebraic manipulations. You'll breeze through homework once you've got these exponent hacks down. Prealgebra 2e Key Concepts
  5. FOIL for Polynomials - First, Outer, Inner, Last - this catchy rhyme helps you multiply two binomials without missing a term. It's like a mini check‑list to expand (x + a)(x + b) into x² + (a + b)x + ab. Practice a few examples, and FOIL becomes second nature. Prealgebra 2e Key Concepts
  6. Law of Sines - sin A/a = sin B/b = sin C/c lets you tackle any non‑right triangle by relating sides to opposite angles. It's perfect when you know two angles and one side (AAS) or two sides and a non‑included angle (SSA). Keep your calculator ready in sine mode and watch side lengths emerge.
