  1. Simplify: 3(2x - 4) + 5x

    Answer: 11x - 12

    Distribute 3 to get 6x - 12, then add 5x to get 11x - 12.

  2. If a = 3 and b = -2, what is the value of 2a² - 3b?

    Answer: 24

    2(9) - 3(-2) = 18 + 6 = 24.

  3. Which expression is equivalent to 4x² - 8x?

    Answer: 4x(x - 2)

    Factor out 4x: 4x(x - 2) = 4x² - 8x.

  4. What is the degree of the polynomial 5x³ - 2x + 7?

    Answer: 3

    The degree is determined by the highest exponent, which is 3.

  5. Evaluate: (x + y)² when x = 2 and y = -5

    Answer: 9

    (2 + (-5))² = (-3)² = 9.

  6. Simplify: (3x²)(4x³)

    Answer: 12x⁵

    Multiply coefficients (3×4=12) and add exponents (2+3=5) to get 12x⁵.

  7. 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.
