• x = a / y

Multiple Choice

m = c -d

Solve for c

• c = md

• c = m - d

• c = m + d

Multiple Choice

Solve for x

y = mx + b

• x = (y - m) /b

• x = (y - b) / m

• x = m / (y - b)

Multiple Choice

The larger of 2 numbers is 4 more than the smaller number. Write expressions for both numbers

• x and x + 5

• x and 4x

• x and x + 4

Multiple Choice

x AND x + 4

The 2 numbers are added together to equal 56. Write an equation for this situation.

• x - x +4 = 56

• x + x +4 = 56

• x + x +4 + 56 = y

Multiple Choice

The highest score on an Algebra test was 40 more than the lowest. What expressions can we use for these 2 scores

• x AND 40x

• x AND y

• x AND x + 40

Multiple Choice

x AND x + 40

if the lowest and highest scores added to 140, what equation represents this?

• x + x = 40 + 140

• x + x + 140 = y

• x + x + 40 = 140

Multiple Choice

x + x + 40 = 140

COMBINE LIKE TERMS

• 2x + 40 = 140

• x + 40 = 140

• 40x + 140

Multiple Choice

• 50 and 80

Multiple Choice

What is the equation for the perimeter of a rectangle?

• perimeter = 2length + 2width

• perimeter = 2length * 2width

• perimeter = 2length / 2width

Multiple Choice

If a rectangle has length that is 2 more than the width, write an equation for the perimeter

perimeter = 2*length + 2*width

• perimeter = 2(x + 2) + 2(x + 2)

• perimeter = 2(2x) * 2(x)

• perimeter = 2(x + 2) + 2(x)

Multiple Choice

If the perimeter equals 24, what does the equation become

perimeter = 2(x + 2) + 2(x)

• perimeter = 2(24 + 2) + 2(24)

• 24 = 2(x + 2) + 2(x)

• 0 = 24 + 2(x + 2) + 2(x)

Multiple Choice

24 = 2(x + 2) + 2(x)

Distribute

• 24 = 2x + 4 + 2x

• 24 = 2x + 2 + 2x

• 24 = 4x + 4 + 2x

Multiple Choice

24 = 2x + 4 + 2x

Combine Like Terms

• 24 = 8x

• 24 = 4x + 4

• 24 = 6x + 2
