Which expression represents 'seven less than three times a number n'?
Answer: 3n − 7
'Three times a number n' is 3n, and 'seven less than' means subtract 7 from it, giving 3n − 7.
What is the value of 4x − 3 when x = 5?
Answer: 17
Substitute x = 5: 4(5) − 3 = 20 − 3 = 17.
A number pattern begins: 3, 7, 11, 15, … What is the next number?
Answer: 19
Each term increases by 4. Adding 4 to 15 gives 19.
Solve for y: 2y + 6 = 18
Answer: y = 6
Subtract 6 from both sides: 2y = 12. Divide both sides by 2: y = 6.
If a = 3 and b = 4, what is the value of 2a² − b?
Answer: 14
2(3²) − 4 = 2(9) − 4 = 18 − 4 = 14.
Which equation has the solution x = 7?
Answer: 3x − 4 = 17
3(7) − 4 = 21 − 4 = 17. ✓ The other equations do not equal their right-hand sides when x = 7.
