  1. 1. Solve for x: 4(x + 4) − 42 = x − 2

    • a7
    • b-8
    • c9
    • d8
    Show solution

    Answer: 8

    Expand, collect x-terms on one side, constants on the other, divide.

    Expand: 4x + 16 − 42 = x − 2, then isolate x.

  2. 2. Expand (2x − 3)(2x − 1). What is the coefficient of x?

    • a-7
    • b4
    • c3
    • d-8
    Show solution

    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. 3. Solve for x: 2(x + 4) − 19 = x − 4

    • a7
    • b8
    • c-7
    • d6
    Show solution

    Answer: 7

    Expand, collect x-terms on one side, constants on the other, divide.

    Expand: 2x + 8 − 19 = x − 4, then isolate x.
