What is the solution to the system: y = x + 2 and y = 3x − 4?
Answer: (3, 5)
Setting equal: x + 2 = 3x − 4 → 6 = 2x → x = 3; y = 5.
Simplify: 4x² + 3x − 2x² + x
Answer: 2x² + 4x
(4x² − 2x²) + (3x + x) = 2x² + 4x.
A phone plan charges $25/month plus $0.10 per text. Which equation gives the total monthly cost C for t texts?
Answer: C = 25 + 0.10t
The fixed fee is $25 and the variable part is $0.10 per text, giving C = 25 + 0.10t.
What is the value of the expression 3a² − 2b when a = 2 and b = 3?
Answer: 6
3(2²) − 2(3) = 3(4) − 6 = 12 − 6 = 6.
Factor the expression: x² − 9
Answer: (x + 3)(x − 3)
x² − 9 is a difference of squares: (x + 3)(x − 3).
A table shows: x = 1, y = 5; x = 2, y = 8; x = 3, y = 11. What is the rule?
Answer: y = 3x + 2
The y-values increase by 3 for each increase of 1 in x, and when x = 0, y = 2, giving y = 3x + 2.
