  1. Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 17

    Answer: x = 6

    Subtract 5 from both sides to get 2x = 12, then divide by 2: x = 6.

  2. Simplify: 4a + 7b − 2a + 3b

    Answer: 2a + 10b

    Combine like terms: (4a − 2a) + (7b + 3b) = 2a + 10b.

  3. A gym charges a $25 sign-up fee plus $15 per month. Which equation gives the total cost C for m months?

    Answer: C = 15m + 25

    The fixed fee is $25 and the variable cost is $15 per month, so C = 15m + 25.

  4. Which value of x makes the equation 4x − 3 = 13 true?

    Answer: x = 4

    Adding 3 to both sides gives 4x = 16, and dividing by 4 gives x = 4.

  5. Which of the following is NOT a like term with 6x²?

    Answer: 6x

    Like terms must have the same variable and exponent; 6x has a different exponent (1) than 6x² (2), so it is not a like term.

  6. Solve the inequality: 2x + 4 < 12

    Answer: x < 4

    Subtracting 4: 2x < 8; dividing by 2: x < 4.

  7. If 5 + n/3 = 8, what is the value of n?

    Answer: n = 9

    Subtracting 5 from both sides gives n/3 = 3, then multiplying both sides by 3 gives n = 9.
