Solve for x: 3x + 7 = 22
Answer: 5
Subtract 7 from both sides to get 3x = 15, then divide by 3 to get x = 5.
If 2(x − 3) = 10, what is x?
Answer: 8
Distribute to get 2x − 6 = 10, add 6 to both sides: 2x = 16, divide by 2: x = 8.
Which expression represents 'five less than three times a number n'?
Answer: 3n − 5
'Three times a number' is 3n, and 'five less than' means subtract 5, giving 3n − 5.
If y = 4x − 1 and x = 3, what is y?
Answer: 11
Substitute x = 3: y = 4(3) − 1 = 12 − 1 = 11.
What is the value of 5x² when x = 2?
Answer: 20
Calculate x² = 4 first, then multiply by 5: 5 × 4 = 20.
Solve: 4x − 3 = 2x + 9
Answer: x = 6
Subtract 2x from both sides: 2x − 3 = 9, add 3: 2x = 12, divide by 2: x = 6.
