Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Algebraic Concepts

What is the value of x in the equation?

$\dpi{100} \frac{200+50}{5}=x$

Possible Answers:

$\dpi{100} 25$

$\dpi{100} 5$

$\dpi{100} 100$

$\dpi{100} 50$

Correct answer:

$\dpi{100} 50$

Explanation:

First, add $\dpi{100} 200+50=250$ .

Next, divide $\dpi{100} 250\div 5=50$ .

So $\dpi{100} x=50$

Example Question #2 : Algebraic Concepts

Simplify.

-7x +4x-11-x+3

Possible Answers:

-4x-14

4x+8

-4x-8

-4x+8

Correct answer:

-4x-8

Explanation:

When simplifying an expression, you must combine like terms. There are two types of terms in this expression: “x’s” and whole numbers. Combine in two steps:

1) x’s: -7x+4x-x=-4x

2) whole numbers: -11+3=-8

The simplified expression is: -4x-8 .

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

Solve, when x=-2 .

$-6x^{2}+12x+3=$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve, insert for each :

$-6(-2)^{2}+12(-2)+3=$

Simplify:

-6(4)-24+3=

-24-24+3=-45

*Common error: When solving this part of the equation always remember the order of operations (PEMDAS) and square the number in the () BEFORE multiplying!

Example Question #5 : Algebraic Concepts

Use the equations to answer the question.

3 + x=4

9+y=13

What is x+y ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First, you need to find what would make and true in their respective equations. equals 1 and equals 4. The next step is to add those together, which gives you 5.

Example Question #4 : Algebraic Concepts

What story best fits the expression $9\times3$ ?

Possible Answers:

Michelle had 3 stuffed animals and gave 1 away.

Lisa had 9 pencils with two erasers each.

Jonah had 3 baseball cards, but after his friend gave him some, he had 12.

Nell bought 9 bags of candy with 3 pieces of candy in each bag.

Correct answer:

Nell bought 9 bags of candy with 3 pieces of candy in each bag.

Explanation:

Nell's story fits best because if she bought 9 bags with 3 pieces each, that would be 27 total. This fits best with the $9\times 3=27$ equation.

Example Question #5 : Equations

What is equal to in this equation:

4x+5=13

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the number that makes the equation true. 2 works because when plugged in, the left side of the equation becomes 13, making the whole equation true.

Example Question #7 : Algebraic Concepts

Five more than a number is equal to $\frac{3}{5}$ of twenty-five . What is the number?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

From the question, we know that plus a number equals $\frac{3}{5}$ of . In order to find out what $\frac{3}{5}$ of is, multiply $\frac{3}{5}$ by $\frac{25}{1}$ .

$\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{25}{1}=\frac{75}{5}$ , or .

The number we are looking for needs to be five less than , or .

You can also solve this algebraically by setting up this equation and solving:

$5+x=\frac{3}{5}\times25$

5+x=15

Subtract from both sides of the equation.

x=10

Example Question #6 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

Solve for .

2x-2=10

Possible Answers:

x=12

x=10

x=6

x=8

Correct answer:

x=6

Explanation:

To solve for , we want to isolate , or get it by itself.

2x-2=10

Add to both sides of the equation.

2x-2=10

2x=12

Now we need to divide both sides by the coefficient of , i.e. the number directly in front of the .

2x=12

x=6

Example Question #7 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

Solve for .

18=3x+3

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First, subtract the three from both sides:

$18-3=3x+3\left ( -3\right )$

15=3x

Then, divide by three on both sides:

$\frac{15}{3}=\frac{3x}{3}$

5=x
