Solve for y: y/3 + 4 = 10.
Answer: y = 18
Subtract 4 to get y/3 = 6, then multiply by 3 to get y = 18.
Expand: (x + 5)(x - 2).
Answer: x² + 3x - 10
Using FOIL: x² - 2x + 5x - 10 = x² + 3x - 10.
A rectangle has length 2x and width x + 3. What is its perimeter in terms of x?
Answer: 6x + 6
Perimeter = 2(2x) + 2(x + 3) = 4x + 2x + 6 = 6x + 6.
Solve for x: x² = 49.
Answer: x = ±7
Taking the square root of both sides gives x = 7 or x = -7.
Simplify: (12x⁵)/(4x²).
Answer: 3x³
Divide coefficients (12/4 = 3) and subtract exponents (5 - 2 = 3) for 3x³.
If 5(x - 2) = 3x + 4, what is x?
Answer: x = 7
5x - 10 = 3x + 4 gives 2x = 14, so x = 7.
What is the value of the expression 3a + 2b when a = 4 and b = -3?
Answer: 6
3(4) + 2(-3) = 12 - 6 = 6.
