What is the value of x if 2(x - 3) = 4x + 2?
Answer: -4
Expand to 2x - 6 = 4x + 2, giving -8 = 2x, so x = -4.
A number increased by 40% becomes 70. What was the original number?
Answer: 50
If 1.4 times the number is 70, then the number is 70/1.4 = 50.
What is the product of (x + 2)(x + 5)?
Answer: x² + 7x + 10
Using FOIL gives x² + 5x + 2x + 10 = x² + 7x + 10.
What is the median of the set {3, 8, 5, 12, 7}?
Answer: 7
Ordered, the set is 3, 5, 7, 8, 12 and the middle value is 7.
If a car travels 150 miles in 3 hours, what is its average speed?
Answer: 50 mph
Speed equals distance divided by time, so 150/3 = 50 mph.
What is the value of |−6| + |4|?
Answer: 10
Absolute values are 6 and 4, and 6 + 4 = 10.
Solve for x: x² = 49.
Answer: ±7
Both 7 and -7 squared equal 49, so x = ±7.
