Simplify: 3(2x - 4) + 5x
Answer: 11x - 12
Distribute 3 to get 6x - 12, then add 5x to get 11x - 12.
If a = 3 and b = -2, what is the value of 2a² - 3b?
Answer: 24
2(9) - 3(-2) = 18 + 6 = 24.
Which expression is equivalent to 4x² - 8x?
Answer: 4x(x - 2)
Factor out 4x: 4x(x - 2) = 4x² - 8x.
What is the degree of the polynomial 5x³ - 2x + 7?
Answer: 3
The degree is determined by the highest exponent, which is 3.
Evaluate: (x + y)² when x = 2 and y = -5
Answer: 9
(2 + (-5))² = (-3)² = 9.
Simplify: (3x²)(4x³)
Answer: 12x⁵
Multiply coefficients (3×4=12) and add exponents (2+3=5) to get 12x⁵.
Which value of x satisfies 5x - 3 = 2x + 9?
Answer: 4
Subtract 2x from both sides: 3x - 3 = 9, so 3x = 12 and x = 4.
