Solve for x: 7x + 3 = 4x + 18
Answer: x = 5
7x - 4x = 18 - 3 → 3x = 15 → x = 5.
What is the slope of the line passing through points (2, 5) and (6, 13)?
Answer: 2
Slope = (13-5)/(6-2) = 8/4 = 2.
Solve the quadratic: x² - 7x + 10 = 0
Answer: x = 2 or x = 5
Factor: (x-2)(x-5) = 0 → x = 2 or x = 5.
If f(x) = 2x² - 3x + 1, find f(-1).
Answer: 6
f(-1) = 2(-1)² - 3(-1) + 1 = 2 + 3 + 1 = 6.
Solve the inequality: 3 - 2x ≤ 9
Answer: x ≥ -3
-2x ≤ 6 → x ≥ -3 (flip inequality when dividing by negative).
What is the y-intercept of the line y = 4x - 7?
Answer: -7
The y-intercept is the constant term: -7 (set x = 0: y = 4(0) - 7 = -7).
