If 3x - 7 = 14, what is the value of x?
Answer: 7
Adding 7 to both sides gives 3x = 21, then dividing by 3 gives x = 7.
Which expression is equivalent to 4(2x - 3) + 5?
Answer: 8x - 7
Distributing gives 8x - 12, then adding 5 gives 8x - 7.
A number increased by 12 equals 31. What is the number?
Answer: 19
Setting up n + 12 = 31 and subtracting 12 from both sides gives n = 19.
What is the slope of the line passing through (2, 5) and (6, 13)?
Answer: 2
Slope = (13 - 5) / (6 - 2) = 8 / 4 = 2.
Simplify: 5x² - 3x + 2x² + 7x
Answer: 7x² + 4x
Combining like terms: (5x² + 2x²) + (-3x + 7x) = 7x² + 4x.
If y = 2x + 1 and x = -3, what is y?
Answer: -5
Substituting x = -3: y = 2(-3) + 1 = -6 + 1 = -5.
Which value of x satisfies 2(x + 4) = 3x - 1?
Answer: 9
Expanding gives 2x + 8 = 3x - 1, so 9 = x.
