Solve for w: 6w + 5 = 4w + 17
Answer: 6
Subtracting 4w: 2w + 5 = 17 → 2w = 12 → w = 6.
An elevator rises at v floors per minute. In 8 minutes it covers 40 floors. What is v?
Answer: 5
8v = 40 → v = 5 floors per minute.
If 5(x + 2) = 35, what is x?
Answer: 5
Dividing by 5: x + 2 = 7 → x = 5.
Which inequality is equivalent to 2x - 4 > 8?
Answer: x > 6
Adding 4: 2x > 12 → x > 6.
A conduit contains n wires. After adding 9 more there are 25. Find n.
Answer: 16
n + 9 = 25 → n = 16 wires.
Solve for x: 2(x - 5) + 3x = 15
Answer: 5
Expanding: 2x - 10 + 3x = 15 → 5x = 25 → x = 5.
The load capacity L of a platform equals 3w + 50, where w is the width in feet. If L = 200 kg, find w.
Answer: 50
3w + 50 = 200 → 3w = 150 → w = 50 feet.
