If f(x) = 4x - 7, what is f(3)?
Answer: 5
Substitute x = 3: f(3) = 4(3) - 7 = 12 - 7 = 5.
A store marks up an item by 25% and sells it for $50. What was the original cost?
Answer: $40.00
If cost × 1.25 = $50, then cost = $50 ÷ 1.25 = $40.
Evaluate: |−15| + |−8| − |6|
Answer: 17
Absolute values give 15 + 8 - 6 = 17.
If 5x + 3 = 3x + 11, what is the value of x?
Answer: 4
Subtract 3x from both sides to get 2x + 3 = 11, then 2x = 8, so x = 4.
What is 15% of 240?
Answer: 36
15% of 240 = 0.15 × 240 = 36.
Simplify the expression: 3(2x + 4) − 2(x − 1)
Answer: 4x + 14
Distribute to get 6x + 12 - 2x + 2 = 4x + 14.
