1. Solve for x: 4(x + 4) − 42 = x − 2
Answer: 8
Expand, collect x-terms on one side, constants on the other, divide.
Expand: 4x + 16 − 42 = x − 2, then isolate x.
2. Expand (2x − 3)(2x − 1). What is the coefficient of x?
Answer: -8
(ax + p)(cx + q) = ac·x² + (aq + pc)x + pq.
Coefficient of x = a·q + p·c = 2·(−1) − 3·2 = -8.
3. Solve for x: 2(x + 4) − 19 = x − 4
Answer: 7
Expand, collect x-terms on one side, constants on the other, divide.
Expand: 2x + 8 − 19 = x − 4, then isolate x.
