Simplify: (2x + 3)(x - 4)
Answer: 2x² - 5x - 12
FOIL: 2x² - 8x + 3x - 12 = 2x² - 5x - 12.
What is the value of 3x² - x + 4 when x = -1?
Answer: 8
3(1) - (-1) + 4 = 3 + 1 + 4 = 8.
Which expression represents 'six less than twice a number n'?
Answer: 2n - 6
'Twice a number' is 2n, and 'six less than' means subtract 6, giving 2n - 6.
Simplify: 5x - 2(3 - x)
Answer: 7x - 6
Distribute the -2: 5x - 6 + 2x = 7x - 6.
Factor completely: x² - 9
Answer: (x+3)(x-3)
x² - 9 is a difference of squares: (x+3)(x-3).
If 3(x - 2) = 15, what is x?
Answer: 7
Divide both sides by 3: x - 2 = 5, so x = 7.
Which expression is NOT equivalent to 12x²y?
Answer: 4xy · 4xy
4xy · 4xy = 16x²y², which does not equal 12x²y.
