Solve the inequality: 2x - 3 < 7.
Answer: x < 5
Add 3 to get 2x < 10, then divide by 2 to get x < 5.
What is the mean of the data set 4, 8, 10, 14, 14?
Answer: 10
The sum is 50 and there are 5 values, so the mean is 50/5 = 10.
If the radius of a circle is 7, what is its circumference? (Use π ≈ 22/7)
Answer: 44
Circumference is 2πr = 2 × (22/7) × 7 = 44.
Expand: (x + 5)(x - 2).
Answer: x² + 3x - 10
Using FOIL: x² - 2x + 5x - 10 = x² + 3x - 10.
A shirt originally priced at $50 is discounted 20%. What is the sale price?
Answer: $40
20% of $50 is $10, so the sale price is $50 - $10 = $40.
What is the value of x in the proportion 3/x = 9/15?
Answer: 5
Cross-multiplying gives 9x = 45, so x = 5.
Evaluate: √64 + √36.
Answer: 14
√64 = 8 and √36 = 6, so 8 + 6 = 14.
