What is the slope of a line parallel to y = 4x - 2?
Answer: 4
Parallel lines have equal slopes, so the slope is 4.
Solve: |x - 3| = 7.
Answer: x = 10 or x = -4
x - 3 = 7 gives x = 10; x - 3 = -7 gives x = -4.
If 3x + 2y = 12 and x = 2, what is y?
Answer: 3
3(2) + 2y = 12, so 2y = 6 and y = 3.
Which is equivalent to (x^3)^2?
Answer: x^6
Raising a power to a power multiplies exponents: 3 * 2 = 6.
A car travels at constant speed and goes 150 miles in 3 hours. Write the distance function d(t).
Answer: d(t) = 50t
Speed is 150/3 = 50 mph, so d(t) = 50t.
Solve: x/4 + 3 = 7.
Answer: x = 16
Subtract 3 then multiply by 4: x = 16.
What is the x-intercept of 2x - 5y = 10?
Answer: (5, 0)
Set y = 0: 2x = 10, so x = 5, giving (5, 0).
