A taxi charges $3 plus $2 per mile. Which equation gives the cost C for m miles?
Answer: C = 2m + 3
Fixed $3 plus $2 times miles gives C = 2m + 3.
Solve the system: y = x + 1 and y = 2x - 3.
Answer: (4, 5)
Set x + 1 = 2x - 3, giving x = 4 and y = 5.
What is the value of x in 5/x = 10/8?
Answer: 4
Cross-multiply: 10x = 40, so x = 4.
Which expression represents 'seven less than twice a number n'?
Answer: 2n - 7
Twice a number is 2n, and seven less means subtract 7.
Simplify: 3(2x + 4) - 2(x - 1).
Answer: 4x + 14
6x + 12 - 2x + 2 = 4x + 14.
If 4x + 8 = 0, what is x?
Answer: -2
Subtract 8 then divide by 4 to get x = -2.
What is the domain restriction for f(x) = 1/(x - 5)?
Answer: x ≠ 5
The denominator cannot be zero, so x cannot equal 5.
