If 4x + 9 = 3x + 20, what is the value of x + 1?
Answer: 12
Solving gives x = 11, so x + 1 = 12.
A linear function has slope -2 and passes through (1, 5). What is its equation?
Answer: y = -2x + 7
Using y - 5 = -2(x - 1) gives y = -2x + 7.
What is the product (x + 4)(x - 4)?
Answer: x^2 - 16
This is a difference of squares: x^2 - 16.
If f(x) = x^2 and g(x) = x + 3, what is f(g(2))?
Answer: 25
g(2) = 5, and f(5) = 25.
For what value of k does the equation 3x = k have the solution x = 4?
Answer: 12
Substituting x = 4 gives k = 3(4) = 12.
What is the value of 2^x when x = 5?
Answer: 32
2^5 = 2 multiplied five times = 32.
If the cost C of n items is C = 5n + 20, how many items cost $70?
Answer: 10
