What is the value of x if 7x - 3(x + 2) = 10?
Answer: x = 4
Distributing gives 7x - 3x - 6 = 10, so 4x = 16 and x = 4.
Solve: 2x + 5 = x - 3
Answer: x = -8
Subtracting x from both sides gives x + 5 = -3, then x = -8.
Which of the following is a solution to 3x + 2 ≤ 11?
Answer: x = 3
Solving gives x ≤ 3; checking x = 3: 3(3)+2 = 11 ≤ 11 is true.
A science experiment requires a temperature T between 20°C and 30°C. Which inequality represents this?
Answer: 20 ≤ T ≤ 30
'Between and including' both endpoints means 20 ≤ T ≤ 30.
Solve for x: (x + 3)/2 = 5
Answer: x = 7
Multiply both sides by 2 to get x + 3 = 10, then subtract 3 to get x = 7.
If y = 3x - 4 and y = 11, what is x?
Answer: x = 5
Substituting y = 11 gives 11 = 3x - 4, so 3x = 15 and x = 5.
Which algebraic expression models 'four times a number minus six equals ten'?
Answer: 4n - 6 = 10
'Four times a number' is 4n, minus six is -6, and equals ten gives the equation 4n - 6 = 10.
