Solve for x: x + 5 = 12.
x = 5
x = 12
x = 17
x = 7
Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate x, resulting in x = 12 - 5 = 7. This simple equation reinforces the concept of inverse operations.
Simplify: 3x + 4x.
7x
x
12x
1x
Combine like terms by adding the coefficients 3 and 4, which gives 7x. This is a basic step in simplifying algebraic expressions.
If y = 2, evaluate 3y².
10
8
12
6
Substitute y = 2 to get 3(2²) = 3(4), which equals 12. This problem emphasizes substitution and the correct order of operations.
Which property of addition states that a + b = b + a?
Commutative Property
Distributive Property
Associative Property
Identity Property
The commutative property explains that the order of addition does not affect the sum. Recognizing this property is fundamental in algebra.
Solve for x: 4x = 20.
x = 4
x = 5
x = 20
x = 8
Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to find x = 20/4 = 5. This problem practices a basic technique for solving linear equations.
Solve for x: 2(x - 3) = 8.
x = 8
x = 7
x = 11
x = 5
First distribute 2 to get 2x - 6 = 8, then add 6 to both sides to yield 2x = 14, and finally divide by 2 to solve x = 7. This reinforces the use of the distributive property and inverse operations.
Which expression demonstrates the distributive property?
a(b + c) = ab + ac
a + b = b + a
ab = ba
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
The distributive property involves multiplying a term outside the parentheses by each term inside, as shown in a(b + c) = ab + ac. This property is key in expanding expressions.
Solve: 5 - (2x - 3) = 12.
x = 4
x = -4
x = 2
x = -2
Distribute the negative sign to obtain 5 - 2x + 3 = 12, then combine like terms giving 8 - 2x = 12. Subtract 8 from both sides and divide by -2 to find x = -2.
What is the slope of the line through the points (2, 3) and (6, 11)?
3
4
8
2
Slope is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x, so (11 - 3) / (6 - 2) equals 8/4, which simplifies to 2. This problem reinforces the concept of the slope.
Solve for x: (x/3) + 2 = 5.
x = 3
x = 5
x = 9
x = 6
Subtract 2 from both sides to give x/3 = 3, then multiply by 3 to find x = 9. This problem practices isolating the variable in a simple equation.
Simplify the expression: 2x + 3 - x + 5.
2x + 8
x + 8
x + 2
3x + 2
Combine like terms by subtracting x from 2x and adding the constants 3 and 5 to get x + 8. This reinforces the process of combining like algebraic terms.
Solve the inequality: 3x - 4 < 8.
x > 4
x < 4
x ≥ 4
x ≤ 4
Add 4 to both sides to obtain 3x < 12, then divide by 3 to find x < 4. This teaches the method of solving linear inequalities correctly.
Factor the quadratic: x² + 5x + 6.
(x + 2)(x + 3)
(x - 2)(x - 3)
(x + 2)(x + 4)
(x + 1)(x + 6)
Look for two numbers that multiply to 6 and add to 5. The numbers 2 and 3 work because 2 Ã - 3 = 6 and 2 + 3 = 5, allowing us to factor the quadratic as (x + 2)(x + 3).
Solve for t: 4(t - 2) = 2t + 6.
t = 5
t = 6
t = 8
t = 7
Distribute 4 to get 4t - 8 = 2t + 6. Subtract 2t from both sides to obtain 2t - 8 = 6, then add 8 to both sides and divide by 2 to solve t = 7.
Which method correctly isolates y in the equation 2y + 3 = 11?
Subtract 2 then divide by 3
Subtract 3 then divide by 2 to get y = 4
Add 3 then divide by 2
Divide by 2 then subtract 3
Subtracting 3 from both sides yields 2y = 8, then dividing by 2 gives y = 4. This two-step process is a standard method for isolating the variable.
Solve for x: (x - 2)/(x + 4) = 1/3.
x = 5
x = -5
x = 2
x = -2
Cross multiply to eliminate the fraction: 3(x - 2) = (x + 4), which simplifies to 3x - 6 = x + 4. Solving this equation leads to x = 5.
What are the solutions to the equation x² - 5x + 6 = 0?
x = 1 and x = 6
x = 2 and x = 3
x = 2 and x = -3
x = -2 and x = -3
Factoring the quadratic gives (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0, which means the solutions are x = 2 and x = 3. Factoring is a reliable method for solving quadratic equations.
Solve for x: √(3x - 5) = x - 2.
x = (7 - √13)/2
x = (7 + √5)/2
x = (5 + √13)/2
x = (7 + √13)/2
Square both sides to eliminate the square root, resulting in a quadratic equation. After solving and checking for extraneous solutions, the only valid solution is x = (7 + √13)/2.
If f(x) = 2x² - 3x + 1, what is f(3)?
12
9
10
8
Substitute x = 3 into the function: f(3) = 2(3²) - 3(3) + 1 = 18 - 9 + 1 = 10. This problem reinforces the concept of function evaluation.
Solve the system of equations: 2x + y = 7 and x - y = 1.
x = 2 and y = 3
x = 5/3 and y = 8/3
x = 3 and y = 1
x = 8/3 and y = 5/3
Solve the second equation for x (x = y + 1) and substitute into the first to obtain 2(y + 1) + y = 7. This leads to y = 5/3 and x = 8/3 after simplification.
